Hey Ya’ll!! I am so stoked to be here in Gainesville Georgia for five months. The Lord has called me once again to leave the familiarness of home but this time to a sweet little town here in the south. I am participating in a discipleship program called CGA – Center for Global Action where I get to learn more about leadership, and discipleship all while being refined by the Father. This season of five months here will be a very fruitful and beautiful season, but also a season of healing. I will be taking classes Monday-Friday learning about many different biblical topics, as well as leadership skills. While doing CGA here I will be working a part time job, and continuing my education through Liberty University’s online program.
Ahhh ok so let’s talk about this title. So I want to be authentic and real here. When God laid this program on my heart I decided to ignore it for the simple fact that I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to leave my family, friends, and the place I have called home for the last nine months. My flesh just did not like that idea. But as weeks passed Abba had made it even more clear to me that my next season wasn’t going to be comfortable. It wasn’t going to look like the same day over and over again in a country that seems to be fear-driven right now. He called me out. I have so much peace knowing that my life looks different from other twenty year olds and that’s okay because I have a beautiful life because of our Dad. So after taking a seat and allowing the Holy Spirit to take control and lead me, I applied for CGA a week before it started and drove across the country by myself which was CRAZY but I’m here and I truly am so excited for what the Lord has instore for me and the other 15 young adults here with me. My friend, who couldn’t get this beautiful phrase out of her head, sent it to our group chat seconds after me asking God to just show me again that this crazy move is really what He has for me – When God says yes, there is no no.
All that to say, I have arrived in Georgia and couldn’t have more peace about being here. I know that while this season is going to be one that I won’t want to leave, it is also going to be messy. This is the season I surrender the worldly thinking habits I picked up since being back home from the World Race. It’s the season I surrender my flesh once again. It’s the season I truly get to lock in all of the beauty that God has shown me this past year of surrendering to Him. I am asking you to please come alongside me to lift me up in prayer during this season. I will also be fundraising the amount of $4,800 for this amazing life giving program. Could you please prayerfully partner with me in growing the Kingdom? Please reach out if you have any questions, or to just chat I would absolutely love that.
With lots of love, Taylor Wilwerding
