I'll be buying my ticket in a few days, if not tonight. In approximately thirty days I'll be in the air... changing a country, changing a lifestyle, changing to a different language, meeting completely new people.
There's nothing like following the Lord even though you can only see two steps in front of you. All you're doing is holding His hand and trusting Him entirely like a child trusting a father will do his best to take care of them. There's nothing like it... it's peace. It's excitement. It's knowing.
I can think of somebody who's a perfect example of forsaking all like this, to an even greater extent than I am. He went somewhere where he had never been to in his life (I was born in Brazil and lived until I was five. I just haven't been there in thirteen years), where he knew nobody, and he left EVERYBODY he considered dear to him just so he could devote himself entirely to the Lord and go where the Lord wanted him to.
I'm so proud of him. It's amazing to see the change that can come over somebody in only a few years time. I thought I was the one helping him at first, but... the tables pulled a three-sixty on me and now I can truly say that he has helped me through so much. He has been eager to help me, always standing by me, holding me in his prayers, getting me prophecies, giving me sound advice from the Word and leading me to it. The amazing thing is that this isn't at all how it started. I felt like I was the one trying to stuff the Word down his throat (metaphorically speaking, of course), but I found myself being the one being spoon-fed and all I can say is... thank you. Thank you for being part of my life. Thank you for encouraging me. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being so understanding. But most of all, thank you for being you. O.O
Now he's in Romania, happy I hope (and I pray) and experiencing things he never dreamed he would. Dre, I'm sooooo proud of you! I'm praying for you and I know the Lord has so much in store for you. What you're experiencing now is only a drop in the bucket compared to what He has planned. He'll use you so much, simply because you're yielded, humble, and willing to go where He will take you--willing to be used. I love you so much and even the silly words on this page can't adequately describe how much.
