Today I finally made it back to my home state of sunny Florida! I promise that at the exact moment that I crossed the state border (while trying to capture a photo of the the welcome sign on my phone) the humidity and heat in the air hit me like a wave. The interesting part is that I Loved It! Can you believe that?! Along with this heat wave a feeling of freedom overwhelmed me. Jamming to a new CD with the windows rolled down and every square inch of my car loaded down with junk (including my pink bike tied to the back), I realized where the Lord had brought me from and where He is taking me.
When I made it to Memphis in the fall I was bruised and beaten up, having poor confidence in the power that lies within me. I was being overtaken by many, many lies. But as the heat wave hit me today, I realized that I am not the same person that left Florida in August. I return today as one whose knows her position in Christ and one who knows the calling she has on her life. I am no longer a believer trampled by the lies of the enemy but a fierce warrior standing in the name of the Lord. Praise God for His mighty work.
Continue to pray that I would be diligent in my preparation for Indonesia. He has done a mighty work in me but there is much more work to be done. I want to be equipped in the Word of God, prepared for my classroom, and prepared to share Christ with those around me. Thank you for being diligent in prayer. Know that I am also praying for you. Love you all!
