Walking...

Last week i had the opportunity to go on an extreme adventure that focuses on accepting challenges, conquering fears, and coming closer to God.
The main thing that i learned, in those five days, was about patience. I was put in a group with 3 other girls and 1 guy. By the second day one of the girls could barely walk because of the pain in her feet. God told me that I needed to walk with her throughout the week. You know me, full of energy, strength and perseverance...it was definitely hard, but so worth it. God kept speaking about how I need to walk hand-in-hand with Him...I CANNOT rush ahead to the future...He wants to guide me and prepare the way, so that when the time is right, I arrive and receive the whole blessing!
At the end of the week, God confirmed this in our time of affirmation. One girl prayed over me and really felt God speak the word: RISK. if I take the risk and rush through life, not being completely sensitive to God's voice, I may miss God's will for me in that moment. It hit me really hard. I really need to spend more time with God and recognize His voice and walk slowly beside Him. My relationship with Him NEEDS to be my first priority.
