Field Time Week 21

-
“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.”
Luke 13:24

Being so close to the end of field time is a weird feeling, and it hurts, but knowing that God will be walking me step by step through it. Knowing that my future is in His hands I must trust that He knows what He is doing and looking back on the past 8 months, He surely has. He has boughten me out of my comfort zone and has brought me to my ultimate healing place. He has provided me a home to not only live but to grow in a deeper relationship with Him and those around me. This time away has been the biggest blessing and has forever changed my life. As I return back home I want to continue walking through the narrow door. I don't want to go home and get comfortable again. Being in ignite wasn't a pause on my life back home but a play to take what I've learned this year back home and be a witness to what the Lord has done in my life. Never settling never holding back on what God has in store for my life. Thank you Jesus for breaking through. I pray that I keep pressing on and being present as my time here in Guatemala comes to an end.

July 31, 2017 “By your patience possess your souls.” Luke 21:19 Waiting on the Lord is probably the hardest thing I struggle with in my walk. Wanting everything now. Wanting to skip all the bad and just get the good and what I want. The past couple of weeks the word want has left a bad taste in my mouth. My wants have become so self seeking and completely my flesh. Dying to self no longer requires my input on what I want, but what God wants. And that is the best life I could live, a life fully submitted to God. Yes, there will be trials and hard times. It could even cause me to be hated or betrayed, but to see God’s face is worth it all. Like the previous verse says, “But not a hair of your head shall be lost” (verse 18). Yes Jesus is promising that there are going to be hard times, but He is also promising that this world cannot hurt us. When we step out to two something for God we are going to be hated at times, but in those times God is promising to protect us. My applica

Romans 15:1

August 24,2017 “When then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1 Jesus did not come down to please Himself. His strength didn’t come from the feedback He received or how many people He healed. His strength came from God. We are weak, but in Him we are strong. In the book, Knowledge of the Holy , by A.W. Tozer it says that, “God gives, but does not give away.” That hit me because I thought of how many times I’ve gotten puffed up by the strength He has given me in areas and then got pushed back down and humbled. I can’t do anything with out Him so instead of using the strength that He gives me and use it for my own desires, I need to use that strength to build up those around me. Jesus did not come down to show us how strong He is, but to become weak with us and to show us God’s love. It has been amazing doing life with people with the same heart chasing after Him, but in verse 5 and 6 it says to be, “like minde

Field Time Week 4

“Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer, for he said ’Til now the Lord has helped us.’” - 1 Samuel 7:12 Ebenezer- stone of help. Jesus set up my Ebenezer here in Guatemala. I needed help desperately and He knew the only way of getting me out was getting me away. Away from distractions and temptations and bringing me to a place where I could fully surrender and fully focus on Him. During training, time was put on our schedules to spend 2 hours of alone time with God. I spent more time in the Word during my training than I have my entire life. Coming back for field time we have been crazy busy and it has been our own responsibly to make time for the Lord. It’s been four months here now and God has given me freedom in areas, but I am abusing it. I will never grow if I continue to walk into each day as just another day. I will never be satisfied if I put my heart in things that aren’t of the Lord. I want that desire to spend
