Lately its been hard to focus on whats in front of me, reality has become blurred behind all of my worries and stress. In 9 months, I will be running after Jesus around the world and sharing his love and good news with everyone I meet. I am beyond thankful for the outpouring of support and the new family of people I will get to live with for those nine months. 2020 carries everything that I have being thinking about for the last year. Graduation, turning 18 and leaving whats comfortable, the people I love and my home behind for nine months. 

 If I am being honest, I am so excited and at the same time i was scared of what this coming year holds. I am aware that God is holding my hand and walking alongside me through this entire journey. But what i didn't fully comprehend was that this entire time Jesus just wanted me to rest. He was waiting for me to run into his arms, sit at his feet and let his peace wash over me. All the distractions and fears that surrounded me had made it difficult to see what he held for me in this coming year. 

I have been rushing around, constantly moving in this season of life. Whether it was working, fundraising or just the everyday things.I was getting caught up in the rushed way of this world and I forgot to be present and take in the things in front of me, instead of letting whats ahead of me hold me back. 

In this new decade we are about to begin i think the father is teaching me to lean more into him, to rest in his presence and let him teach me. Now what he is teaching me, I have no idea,and I don't think we ever fully know, but I am so willing to learn. I pray that for each of you, this new decade may bring a new page of your relationship with God. A new year to talk to God about what he has next for you, no matter how much clarity that may bring.

I would love to hear what you feel He is bringing you into in this New Year so feel free to email me at: dbonfield315@gmail.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
