I needed an extra 5 days to write my blog because this month was just so eventful I needed to process!!! (I forgot and everyone is yelling at me).

There really is so much to say about November, I think it’s best to bullet point.

Highlights:

  • Driving with Skip to DC, we were the only two that had to drive separately due to work conflicts. Skip is an easy and comfortable presence to be around. I respect him and his insights a great deal.

  • Seeing the young girl I do after school tutoring with at Neighbor 2 Neighbor be proud of herself and gain the courage to ask questions. Please pray that Kelly would never know a day apart from the Father, never doubt her inherent value or her intelligence, and that I would be source of peace and encouragement for her. Pray that she uses the distinct voice God has given her. In our limited time together, she has made a lasting impact on me. I am honored to be someone whom she feels safe enough to speak to and share her opinion with, it is not easy for her to do.

  • Nicaragua. I heard the Spirit really audibly during this trip. He never says what I think He’ll say. His responses are always kinder, wiser, more patient, gentler, than what I deserve or assume He’d say.

  • Something in me broke during Nicaragua. I am always striving to be stronger and live in fear of any cracks or breaks in my armor. But God is breaking down the house I have built within myself. It is freeing.

Lowlights:

  • I am becoming more and more aware of how little grace I have for myself.

  • I chipped my tooth while eating rice. Yes cooked rice, and frankly I’m offended that people keep asking me if it was raw. Hello??

  • My spotify wrapped. No questions at this time thanks.

  • I keep trying to put shackles that God has freed me from back on (I know this contradicts my last highlight, I don’t know what to tell ya about that)

  • I have not been warm since we touched down in Raleigh and unlike the apostles I do not handle suffering gracefully. My shivering is about to be everybody’s problem in a big way.
