I can't believe it is November 1st. I know have been here for two months and the time just seems to be going by so quickly. The Lord has been showing me a lot since being here in India.
This time I just wanted to share with you some of the lessons I am learning being here. Honestly this trip has been a lot different than I had expected. The Lord is convicting me on things, asking me to FULLY surrender my pride to Him. It has been different.
On Sunday we were studying Romans chapter 8 and the first verse says this: " Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. " Rom. 8:1-2 . After reading this verse, I began to think how we are free in Christ Jesus. But do I live in that freedom? Do I believe the lies I hear in my head? Do I stand up for who I know that Christ has made me to be? Do I live victoriously in Christ Jesus?
This is something that I believe the Lord is wanting me to fully grasp. It is time to be set free from these things. I want to know what is to walk closer to Jesus in this way. I want to not believe the lies.
Yesterday I was tutoring Namratha and we were working on math. Math is not my strong point and I actually still really have a hard time with it. I was so frusterated because how do I teach something that I don't understand myself. I started hearing the lies in my head "oh Rachel" you are not good enough to teach this, just don't try... I am free in Christ. Namratha doesn't need me to be an expert but to show her love and patience and I will do my best.
Well that is all that is on my heart. I pray you are all doing well. May Jesus be all we need in this time. I pray that your holidays will be blessed.
