Beautiful Detours

I am so reminded of the personal, intentional sovereignty of our Lord. We have taken a detour in our journey, last night we missed our flight to South Africa due to the thunderstorms in Atlanta. After regrouping, getting new flights, and finding transportation, we took the train and walked a few blocks in downtown Atlanta at midnight to our hotel. Our flights were redistributed and our small Zambia team is taking a little adventure from Atlanta to New York, from New York to Amsterdam, and Amsterdam to South Africa. A stop in Europe doesn't sound so bad, and a steady heart that relies on Jesus openly accepts his change of plans. If only if it was that easy, I am so out of my comfort zone, so uncomfortable, I am seeing things I couldn't have before. I am so aware of Jesus, I am aware of his prescence and his desire for all people, and as we took the public train through Atlanta this morning my heart broke, it broke for the streets, for the people, and for the hearts that are all beating and longing for Jesus. I am letting go of a lot of my fears, insecurities and walls and realizing how unworthy I am to be a princess of such a Glorified King. May he be honored, lifted high, and forever praised for never have I realized just how intertwined he is in my life. I want to serve him with everything I have, and this journey was meant to be detoured for whatever reason Jesus knows and has known.  I am thankful for the prayers and love that you, my brothers and sisters, have poured down on this team. Please continue to pray for energy, rest, health, flights and most of all for our hearts to be stirred up in affection of Christ.

Thank you and Love, 

Lexi
