Overwhelmed
So I’m sitting on my flight to Atlanta, reflecting on this past year of my life, everything I’ve seen Jesus do in and around me, and this upcoming season.
A year ago today I landed in Cambodia.
After traveling for around 40 hours, we arrived to our first country on the Race.
It’s hard to believe that a year has flown by since then. But looking back, SO much happened.
A year ago I never would have dreamed of what Jesus would be doing today.
I was feeling about the same as I do today though.
Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Excited. Nervous. Scared. Joyful. Sad.
You see, after I got home from the race, I was home for two and a half weeks. And then I road tripped around the US for three and a half weeks.
I just got home on Tuesday to spend a couple days. Literally. Two days.
And early this morning my sweet Mama dropped me off at the airport so I could walk into this next season–CGA in Gainesville, GA.
Everything has been happening so quickly. And I just haven’t had time to catch up, to process. That’s probably why I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.
But.
I’m also filled with great anticipation at what Jesus is going to bring.
I’m ready for this season–whether I really feel like it or not.
Jesus has prepared me for it. And so I can walk in confidence.
Last year, I had absolutely no idea what the Race was going to really hold. I didn’t know what to expect in Cambodia. But I knew that I was walking down a beautiful path.
The same is true for today. I don’t know exactly what my path at CGA will hold. But I know it’s going to be beautiful.
So as I fully experience this emotion and feeling of being overwhelmed at this moment–letting it sweep over me–I know Jesus is meeting me here.
I know that He’s wrapping His arms around me, taking me by the hand, and filling me with joy at the adventure we’re going on together.
Here’s to adventures, newness, and change!
It’s gonna be good.
