Right now, life consists of hand washing my clothes, taking bucket showers, living in 18 square feet of space, sharing meals and endlessly battling sweat. Life has never been more fulfilling.
I’ve reached ground zero in a practical and in a spiritual sense.
Ground zero as in a place acknowledgement of all that God has taught me, but in position of receiving all that He wants to teach me.
I prayed God would plague my life so I can be free from the Egypt in my heart. Little did I know He would answer my prayer through spoiled milk in my cereal on a Thursday morning.
But on a real note… God has torn down the walls in my mind and in my heart.
One being, God can work differently through individuals and still be the same God. Just because peoples experience of God looks different, doesn’t mean God is different. I may have my own idea of how things should look or be, but God can use any vessel for His glory. God knows I’m just as much of an imperfect vessel as anyone.
When these walls came crumbling down I wept at the feet of the Lord. Suddenly I was able to put my skepticism and agenda aside in order to see God in a new way. To think that this overwhelming feeling is just a GLIMPSE of His glory. What felt like the first time, I was introduced to the Holy Spirit. And to 39 wonderfully unique individuals that I get to be in community for the next 9 months. I love W squad!!
