So...it's been a long while since I've updated this.
Maybe I've been too busy. Maybe I've been too lazy. Maybe I just haven't known what to say.
It's probably a bit of all of those things.
I've been back home in Grand Rapids for almost three months. It's ridiculous how fast the time seems to have flown by. And what have I done with the time? I think that's something I ask myself a lot these days.
When I first got back, I was filled with a passion to go out and change something. It's not that the passion has died off or slipped away. It's more like I haven't known where to start. Is that a good excuse? Of course not.
But through this all I'm learning more and more about the faithfulness of God. How He pursues us. How He never gives up. How He is so constant to attend to our needs. How He will always push us further than we think we can go. He is always faithful. Will we have the faith to follow?
When I first got back home, I planned on staying in GR for three months and then heading back to Hawaii to take a five week class that would push me even further. But I let life back here pull me back and decided to not go. But the Spirit of God wouldn't let my heart rest. Every day for the last three weeks, He's been whispering into my heart, telling me to trust Him and to follow Him. He kept asking me if I'd be faithful back to Him.
And so, in two weeks I'll be heading back to Kona to take a 5 week class called Circuit Riders. The class is focused on deeping our relationship with God to higher levels and bringing what we've learned in "class" into the "real world." I'm not sure where I will go when it ends. I might come back to GR. I might head to a different country. I might stay in Hawaii. I don't know yet. But I do know that this is where I'm supposed to go.
I'm stepping out in faith because I cannot do this alone. He's good. He's faithful.
