Departure And What Walking By Faith Is Like

September 28th, 2022 – 8:50am – The Farm, Meridian, TX, USA:

Well, I’m all packed… into a single small backpack… just what “fits under the seat in front of me”. I’ve finished all the work I had to do before I leave… and the place I’ve been staying is clean.

How do you describe walking by faith? I’m thinking about this every single day now. This morning I sat before God and just told him that I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t possibly walk forward. This is too much for me. I don’t want to go to South Korea or Israel. I want to stay here with my friend and with my family. I don’t want to travel alone to the other side of the world. And He listened.

The truth is that this is God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It’s no longer my will be done. I choose to obey. I choose God’s path for my life over any path I could choose. I choose Him now and forever. This is my declaration.

I will go because He asked me to go and for no other reason. I’ll look up and get strength from Him for the journey ahead. This is His journey…

That path ahead to me is unknown but I know that God knows every step. So this is what it’s like to walk by faith and not by sight. This is what it is to walk in the Spirit.

It’s time to see what God has planned. One day at a time.

In an hour I’ll go over to my friends place and they will pray for me. Then we drive to Dallas for one last meal with family. Then to the airport to fly to San Francisco, South Korea, and then Israel.

So let the next part of my journey begin!
