Genesis - Update 4: East Africa: Exuding Light and Discovering Leadership

Something God taught me this week is…man, what hasn’t he taught me? I think I’ve come to realize how capable I am of leading, of teaching, of organizing, and doing all of those things with 1) large groups of people and 2) several different demographics/cultures within the group I’m working with. It has been a blast seeing this come out of me so naturally as a trainee on this trip. God is definitely saying, “I told you so.” Lol. I’ve worked really hard this trip, denied my flesh over and over and surrendered to the gifts I have. My prayer has been to walk in a balance of confidence and humility and from what I’ve heard from my friends and leaders, I’m doing just that. It’s freaking me out. Lol?!? How am I doing this well…God’s precious grace. It’s been sufficient for me. All of the ways he’s prepared me for our ministry and for leading in tandem with who I am on the other side of some hard healing work, have resulted in such a beautiful light shining from me and on me each and every day. I feel a great deal of peace. I know many of you are praying for me and I only feel even more built up with that knowledge.
