Before coming on the trip my heart was hardened. My community was drifting and my life was a blur of change. Rather than pressing into the Lord for comfort and hope I chose to press into worldly things. I knew the Lord had something big for me in asking me to come on this trip but I had no idea how quickly He would act.
Coming in I was appathetic and maybe even a little bittter toward my relationship with the Lord. I naively though I could hold onto my own stubborn and selfish desires. It's crazy how fast the Lord can act when He wants to. In the matter of days He broke down the walls I had foolishly been trying to build around my heart over the past two months. He's shown me that He will never stop pursuing me. No matter how hard I try to deny the love He so freely gives, I can do nothing to stop His endless pursuit after my heart. I've been reminded of truth of that unconditional love so that I may dance freely in the love and freedom that He has given me.
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken."
-Isaiah 54:10
