What are you going to do about it?

So I just returned home from the most amazing experience of my life. I cannot describe in words what all exactly I experienced. I really cannot. It was definitely humbling and God revealed so many things to me. I was away from all technology and everyone I knew. Sometimes it really does take God getting you away from your comforts, your cellphone that is constantly going off, your family, your friends, your computer that is a constant distraction, and all sense of time to show you things. I am so glad that I was away from those things. To be completely honest, I did not miss those things. I did not even think about my phone until it accidentally went off one day while I was there. When I was asked what I missed about home my answer was that I wish I knew how my family and friends were and how their Christmas was, but other than having a small conversation with each of them I was good.
Things I learned
1- I lack a lot of things in my life starting with faith. I tend to forget that my God is real and alive and can do anything and everything He wants to. I do not take my faith serious all the time. It is so easy to get bogged down into a routine and get stuck in a rut in your relationship with Him.
2- Another thing I lack is boldness in my relationship with God. We studied the book of Acts everyday while in China and it was awesome to see the Holy Spirit leading in every verse of it. Peter prayed for boldness. He would preach the Gospel, go to jail for it, get out of jail, and then go back to preaching the Good News again! Who does that?? I should!
Side note:We should risk it all for the glory of God! I am not holding back anymore! I pray that I am intentional about everything I do and say and that it all brings my God and Savior the glory! We are pathetic!! China is a closed country to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Christians there risk EVERYTHING for the sake of His holy and precious name and what do we do? American Christians have the freedom of religion, we risk nothing, and STILL sit around not doing a thing about sharing the Gospel! Who are we to not share the most amazing thing in the world?! They risk their lives day in and day out and we do nothing. We were studying one day and were talking and came to the realization that America needs persecution of our Christians. Maybe then we see everyone's true colors and stand up for what we believe. Our country NEEDS to hear the Gospel!! So, what are you going to do about it??
So since I shared with my team that I felt like I lacked faith and boldness and prayed about it..God gave me opportunities to share with others.
3- I lack a lot of patience. I thought I knew how to patient. I was wrong. Ha! What is new? I have NO IDEA where God is taking me and I thought I was okay with that..but I was wrong..again! I mean, for the most part, I am okay with God leading and guiding me. I just wish I knew WHERE He is taking me and WHEN I am going to get there and WHO will be around in my life once I get there. I just need patience and I have decided that I am not going to wear a watch anymore. I need not to put God on a time table. We holds the most perfect plans for my life. And that is all I need to know. He is sovereign. End. Of. Story.

This is just a little snipit of my time spent in China. More to come later.
