The most beautiful orchestrator. The most relentless pursuer.
My God is so big. So powerful. So beautiful. So loving. So giving. So willing to reveal things to me. I can’t even begin wrap my head around His immensity most of the time, and I think the thing that blows my mind the most is that He has the most beautifully orchestrated plans for each and every one of us. Even me. He orchestrated the trip to the Dominican Republic I got to go on last summer, He orchestrated my move to Bloomington, He orchestrated my stay in Thailand…and He’s beginning to show me how many other things He has put into place for me. If you had asked me a few months ago, I would have told you that this semester I was going to be living by myself in a one-bedroom. Little did I know, that God was going to place my sweet friend Brooke in my life and that she and I would be living together this upcoming year. He also gave me a heart for human trafficking, and sent me on this trip…turns out He sent me here, not because my ministry will be human trafficking, but to show me my heart for children and Africa. If He wouldn’t have put me here I wouldn’t be able to grow and learn and prepare for what He has in store for my future. It also turns out, that by orchestrating my new living situation with Brooke, He has been able to align our hearts and our future plans TOGETHER! I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited or sure about what God is doing now, and what He is GOING to do in my life. There are so many bigthings that He is putting in place, and I can’t wait to follow Him into the unknown…because it is going to be beautiful. I mean it has to be right? After all, He is the most beautiful orchestrator.
Another thing God has been revealing to me is that He is such a relentless pursuer. I love seeing Him chase after the girls on Bangla Road. We have had a rare experience on our trip in that we have actually been able to see some fruit come from what we are doing here. One of our groups got to share the gospel to a girl they had formed a relationship with and she was SHOUTING the praises of the Most High in the middle of all the chaos on that road. Another group got to see a girl walk out of the bars and she now works at the 7eleven. Just like He is pursuing these women and men at the bars, He is constantly pursuing us. Even when we have been walking with Him, the pursuit never really stops! We can run and hide and say over and over that we are happy in our lives and that we don’t need anything else, but once we figure out that the things this world has to offer will never be enough He will STILL be there because He is always in pursuit. I love that. I love that when we feel like we don’t have it in us to pursue people anymore that God is right there to pursue through us. I love that even though sometimes in this life it is so easy to feel alone or like He is too big to worry about the small details in our lives, He tells us that is a lie from the enemy because He isALWAYS there. And those times when we feel most alone He is carrying us along because without Him we wouldn’t even be standing, whether or not we realize it or not. He’s the most relentless pursuer. <3
love and miss yall
living in pursuit of Him,
