Luke 24

This weekend was an incredible weekend to be at Lakeside Church. What a wonderful teaching from Hosanna & Brad. I've been thinking a lot about it this week and here's what I've got...


We studied Luke 24 JESUS HAS RISEN! I don't want to quote it word for word, the truth is if you're really interested you'll pick up your Bible or Google it. I promise you wont be disappointed :) Brad focused on verses 13-35, the road to Emmaus. Verse 25 just slapped me in the face! “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” You're probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about. If you've been following this blog, you know that I've hit a few road blocks with my immunizations. All day I've been thinking about how I'm going to be able to pay for these shots. I leave in 6 weeks and I have to fork out a few hundred dollars for them and I'm still raising money for me to be able to go on this trip. Seriously Satan....you're a tool! Haha ok back on track...A dear friend of mine who has been encouraging of this trip from the beginning reached out to me today to talk me through it. I sometimes don't feel worthy of this persons friendship. Remember all of this and skip forward a few hours to Engage College Young Adult group tonight....


While listening to Sean's message about Engaging with God, I come across this quote from Mother Teresa: "Each person you meet is Jesus in disguise." 


If you're like me, you're probably wondering what the heck Mother Teresa meant when she said this. I mean really...in every person you meet? Sounds kind of silly. So this friend of mine approaches me after our group meeting to check in on me. There is so much peace, comfort, and wisdom in his words. I go to leave and he shakes my hand...I look down and there's money....in my hands...money for my shots...in my hands. Are you getting it now?!?!


I am a fool! I have been slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! He has a plan for me, plans to prosper and not harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. My dear friend...you were Jesus in disguise for me tonight. I had doubts and you came to me like Jesus came to the men on the road. Who am I to doubt God? As Andre has told me, I put God in a box. I put limits on who he was and what he could do when umm duh God created the box. There are no limits!!!! So I have a question for those who are skeptics...How can you not believe?!


God thank you for your never ending blessings, thank you for challenging me, thank you for my difficult moments, thank you for your love <3 


THE END! PS. I'M GOING TO ETHIOPIA AHHHHHHHHHH
