Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope that this will be a place for you to not only connect with me and what is going on in my current journey to Zambia but also for you to be encouraged and strengthened in your own journey. Please feel free to post comments and stay in touch about your journey, I'd love to hear!
So what is my journey to Africa going to look like? First of all, it will look like a lot of walking in faith and grace. What we see is temporary but what we cannot see is eternal so I'm going to need a lot of grace to walk in the things I cannot see to make an eternal impact wherever I go. This is true not only of this current trip to Africa but my whole life. If I recognize my circumstances, my destiny, and my surroundings according to the flesh I will quickly become discouraged because it is GOD who supplies all my needs not the things that I can see! Next it will look like love. The love of God is the end all. Everything else passes away. As I journey to hug on orphans and widows and to show the love of God as He enables me, I know that He will also be giving me a deeper window into His love. Next it will look like freedom. "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because He has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and freedom to prisoners." All of this seems pretty weighty and honestly kind of subjective when it comes right down to it, but like one of my friends says "Go big or go home!" The physical particulars of my journey are far from set but that doesn't stop me from knowing why I'm going or what I'm going to do while I'm over there. I'll be sure to let you all know as soon as I find out more!
Grace and Peace,
Rose
