Well here we are. A week before we depart for our Outreach locations. Over the past two days as we've packed to leave, I've had the opportunity to look back at the past weeks. The revelation given. Friendships made. Challenges faced and trials overcome. What a feet. And my only response I can think of is, "Thank you Father. Thank you for this opportunity to grow in you. To be changed by you. To be loved on by you." What a gift! And that's what this was. A gift from my Father. I was given the opportunity to let God be more to me than He currently was able to be for me where I was at. And He brought me to New Zealand to do it. Again, what a gift.
Soon after I was packed I looked back at some of the photos people had taken. And as I looked back I felt I could've done this whole course different. I could've this different. What if I would've done that different. And yeah I could've done so many things different. But I also could've continued on to regret what I had done, and wished I would've spent more time with people developing friendship. Or spending more time with God. It's easy to do that. But what I did and what I got out of the course is it. I did what I could with this gift and if I missed something I was to learn from God, I know He'll be faithful to teach it to me in the future. But I'm going to look at this time as a gift.
So let's look back.....
I was paid for to come to New Zealand. My faithful Father paid $10,000+ for me to come here in a matter of weeks. I got to meet a very hospitible people in another country. I met tons of people from all over the States, Canada, Taiwan, New Caladonia, South Korea, Romania, Norway and Australia. And all these people are my friends and family. I got to see God move in 50 peoples lives. I heard amazing speakers give amazing testimonies about our God. And I got to travel all over the whole of New Zealand on faith. I know there is so much I am missing. I know it. But now we are in our last days here in New Zealand. Preparing to go on our Outreaches as we have actually been preparing for this whole time. There is no other time in the history of the World, nor will there ever be again, were these 6 groups of people, who were hand picked by God, will travel the World to proclaim His name and share His love. We are going to go travel around the World. Meet new people. Experience new cultures. We are getting to do something for God that people back home only dream of. For God. For HIS namesake. WHAT A GIFT!!!!
So the question I ask is not, "What could I have done differently during this time?". The question is "Who gets to do this?"
So with that I hope to see all of you soon. Within months. Until then bless you.
Love ya
Geoff
