So I have arrived a couple days early, but with the weather coming in that is projected to come in it was a necessary evil. To be honest, my mind is racing and I am so excited and overwhelmed by what God is doing in my life right now in this moment.
Our event hotel is literally across Highway 75 from SMU and when I arrived I had a moment of…”God do I belong here?” Then I felt the spirit nudge me and say:
Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great. Genesis 15:1. What is the reward for trusting? How can you overcome fear?
Man did that hit me right in the gut and yet at the same time it was like God took me aside and calmed every fear I ever had about this new journey. Are you afraid of something? Why are you afraid?
Do you know that God is with you?
I can tell you that in that moment I honestly never trusted God more, because I am going to learn, grow, and see God move through this journey and when you are on the sidelines to see God moving actively that is so cool. So yes I am nervous, but I trust and believe that God has brought me here and He will expand my knowledge of his grace and love.
I can’t wait to see what I see and know what I know in a weeks time.
