My journey to the land of my adoption!

One chapter closes $ another opens. It is so strange when you think about life and how you can never predict where you would be in the next few years. But God knows even to the point of your address.

I was sitting on the aeroplane on my way to Dubai when God allowed me to experience certain aspects of Jesus' experience leading up to the cross. What overwhelmed me was the sense of loneliness and it washed over me like a massive tidal wave. I began to cry because I felt why must I go through this when I had already accepted to do God's will. I felt so forsaken and so vulnerable that God took me from my family who I hold so dear and brought me by myself to New Zealand.

Jesus knew what it meant to feel alone & forsaken but only He could do the assignment God had commissioned Him to do.

You know when we talk about being pioneering and spear-heading nobody knew what that really meant. You find yourself in place where few people tread. It is a lonely place because you are in the front and everyone is coming after you. It is a hard road but it sets the platform for the ground that needs to be broken and the trail that needs to be blazed.
It is no easy thing to leave your comfort zone with the familiar $ family. I wonder how Abraham felt. I believe with everything within me that God who sacrificed His son, sacrifices His children so that the world can be saved.
Eventhough this was a tough journey, I know that if Jesus endured the cross, I can endure whatever comes my way. It was not easy for Jesus so I am comforted knowing that our God laid everything aside for us.
The in-between part is always not told $ that's the part that makes you or breaks you! I know what it means to deny yourself, take up your cross $ follow Jesus $ pray that I will run this race with endurance. Keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus.
Your faith just goes from one level to the next with many a test(more like examinations).
My new journey begins in the land of my adoption where the execution of His will will take place until such time He moves us again.
