How do I do it??

I'm sitting at Starbucks trying to figure out what I am going to say to the Montgomery students tomorrow morning as I talk about my trip. It's hard for me to compile all of my thoughts. Last night I went to dinner with my good friend Johnny and tried sharing with him about my summer and what God did, what I saw, and how I was changed and I was unable to get it out in a way that is understandable. Of course, Johnny being so incredibly amazing understood because God did the same unexplainable things in his life this summer.

So how am I going to effectively portray all God did, all God is, and all God revealed in 10-15 minutes when I couldn't do it in 4 hours? Joe, the student pastor for the Montgomery campus, is going to do it in an interview type manner and has given me the questions he'll ask so that I am prepared, and I still can't compress it.

Of course, the lessons I learned this summer, God is still teaching me now, 2 months after my trip ended. God is still showing me that His love for me is so deep it's overwhelming but in that same thought, He also likes me. God is still showing me the depth of who He is. Slowly revealing new pieces of this puzzle. God is still teaching what it means to fully depend on Him in all things. God is still revealing to me my struggles with pride, lust, worldliness, and a need for acceptance. God is still teaching me that I'm beautiful in His eyes. God is still teaching me that He is worth it. God is still showing me to find satisfaction in Him. God is still working on me to allow others to see His love, joy, hope and peace in day to day situations. God is still show me who I am in Him. God is still working on me to find ministry in daily life and to look for it. So how can I share this??

One thing that hasn't changed is why I felt called to Swaziland. I still feel the burden of these people I love deeply and how desperately they need to know El Elohim (God Most High). God has still shown me to see them through the eyes of El Roi (the God who sees). He is still burning in me to share with them about El Shaddai (the God who Provides). Those prayers have not changed and that I can share. I can still share about the hurting and how God is restoring. I can still share of the suffering and how God is healing. I can still share with the lost and how God is granting hope.

So pray for me tomorrow as I try to give a glimpse of how BIG God is and how far He has brought me, while still sharing how far I still have yet to go. Pray for me as I try to share the work God did and the work He has yet to do. Pray for me as I give a glimpse into 2 months that have forever altered who I am and have pushed me further to who I am to become.
