The Prelude
On July 30th, I will embark on a year long journey to college campuses across the nation to share about a love that absolutely transformed the way I live on this earth. A love that transcends ethnicity, gender, personality, time, space, both good and bad life choices- every conditional factor that humans tend to take into consideration when they hand out their love. But this love – God’s love – sees beyond all of life’s circumstances. God’s love stretches to the depths of the deepest ocean and to the heights of the highest mountain, and beyond. His love changed my life forever, and I hope to see it transform the lives of other too.
God chooses to use people to demonstrate His love to others. This demonstration comes in the form of supernaturally healing people of diseases and sicknesses, setting people free from emotional distress, giving of money and time, making poverty obsolete, and loving those shunned by society. For those that did not notice, the adverb “supernaturally” in that last sentence modified each of the verbs – healing, setting, giving, making, loving; for it is God’s supernatural power that will flow through my team and I to make all those things a reality.
Why call this post “The Prelude”? Because LOVE is the precursor to my journey to campuses. Without love, none of those things listed above will happen. Without love, I would burn out and have no direction. My love for God and love for people propelled me to travel to college campuses for the next year to share His love. A love that is more than just philosophy or words, but a love that comes in power and comes in the form radically transforming peoples on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level.
And now, all the planning. Building my partnership team – LOTS of phone calls, emails, meetings. Cleaning out my room for my little sister to move in at my parent’s house. Spending time with family and friends. Fixing up this blog. Planning with the team. Setting my finances in order. Selling things on e-bay to raise money. Making sure my car is in good shape since it will literally be my home for the next year. Etc. Wooohooo!!!! I am so excited for what lies ahead.
