Many different things are rushing through my head right now to be honest. My team and I are sitting in an airport right now waiting to board our next flight EY 470 to Brisbane. We landed here in Abu Dhabi after a 15 hour flight from São Paulo, Brasil. Now we are waiting for our 15 hour layover to pass and then we will have another 15 hour flight to Brisbane, Au.
What do I mean when I say that I have a huge amount of things rushing through my head? Well of course the fact that I have left many amazing friends behind in Brasil is on my mind. The process that I need to begin as I transfer from the "Mission Field" into another mission field back in Brisbane and going back into the "normal" life that I had before having my everything radically changed by God while in Brasil is on my mind. But mainly my amazement and awe of God is what has been flooding my thoughts...
Most things are classified for now, but God has spoken so many things to me while in Brasil. Not only has this time been used to grow me as a leader. But God has so faithfully been answering and speaking to me many things that I have been asking of Him to show me. It is amazing to see just how faithful God is when we choose to say to Him, "God, have me, have all of me, it is not my life but yours Father. As I seek your face and your best interests for me, speak to me and let my steps follow yours Lord. I want to be one with You!!"
Now don't get me wrong. It's not easy, it takes sacrifice to your own wants, wishes and desires and constantly reminding yourself that you have nothing and that you are nothing without God being given the reigns to your life. These are all things that I have been learning for the past year or so and each and every day, because I am only a human have to remind myself of these things.
Please. Think about the things you have just read. Ask yourself these things. Have I given Him all of me? Or have I ever asked God to give me direction in my life...Career, school, relationships?Do these things today and as you submit to Him be ready to see Gods FAITHFULNESS and LOVE be shown through to you. God is so good!
Soon I will blog again to give a summary about this past 9ish weeks in Brasil while on Outreach. But for now I really felt God asking me to write what you have read above. So if you are reading this you having read what is above, let this be a challenge and really seek Gods face for these things. Ask Him what areas you need to change in your own life and walk with Him.
Much Love, Michael G. Norris
