NASCAR, UNIVERSAL, OH BUT GOD

Today is a monumental day, I have a lot of those. In fact, not to long ago I was asked if it is possible for me to live without dates. I have been thinking about that a lot. I guess due to my journey, dates hold value, I don't know how else to put it...

Todays date, well it goes back 9 years, back to a time that I thought I was off on a fun filled adventure; NASCAR, Universal, beach, food...that in my mind, was all I could want, could dream of. Little did I know God had a grand plan, one that would forever change my relationship with Him.

It began with the drive down, I could not believe I was on a road trip, out of state, by myself. This was "huge" considering not that long before it had been 5 years I hadn't driven and when I did, well it was around the block to get the mail. So this, this was a massive accomplishment. I was singing, praising, worshiping the whole way, tears streaming down my face as I was sobbing going through the mountains. I just could not get over Gods goodness, the beauty of His world, life...I was actually living life in the moment.

I reached my destination, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina; a place I would quickly find out was going to hold the key to my future, my healing, my heart. A very dear friend invited me on this adventure, my best friend, he had no idea in the way he was being used as a vessel for God to do some mighty work in me.

It was a magnificent trip, I got to experience so many things that were on my bucket list, yet what made the trip special, life altering, mind blowing was the walk I got to have with our Heavenly Father. The fact that I left thinking "fun" and then came home so full of Him and His presence...well lets just say there was no going back after that.

The biggest thing I learned during this time was to be obedient. Go when God says go, if He is taking you there there is a purpose greater than we can ever imagine.
