Devotional: Both Feet In {Ephesians 6:14-17}

‘Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.’ {Ephesians 6:14-17}

I think my greatest takeaway from Haiti was realizing how much I have one foot with God, and one foot in this world. I’m not fully dependent on God.

But in Haiti, I got a glimpse into a life I can’t imagine. A life where daily needs {food, water, shelter} are not met.

Yet, a life where people under these circumstances still have faith. Not, my one-foot in kind of faith. They are all in. They have two feet in, fully dependent on God.

Upon returning from Haiti, a friend shared this quote with me:

‘Your mission field is between your own two feet. Go where you’re sent. Stay where you’re put. Give all you’ve got until God asks you to move.’

So I’m striving to get my two feet firmly rooted with God the only way I know how, diving deeper into His Word.

Devotional Prayer: Both Feet In {Ephesians 6:14-17}

Dear God,

Thank you for renewing my desire to get back into Your Word.

Equip me with the armor I need to stand firm on my daily mission field.

So that when you ask me to move, I’ll have both feet with you.

Trip to Haiti

I’m hoping to share a full recap on my four days in Haiti soon. From visiting Healing Water’s clean water project sites, including the Fit for Her MPLS funded site in Bainet, Haiti; to running a marathon with Bryce from Run.5050.

You can get a glimpse into my trip here.

It was an adventurous four days, but all done in an effort to raise $15,000 to fully fund another clean water project site for a community in need.

I have a goal of selling 1,000 of these custom Bonfire ‘Fueled by Water’ t-shirts and sweatshirts which will in turn raise $15,000 to fully fund a Healing Water’s clean water project site.

If you’d like to support this effort, buy a shirt or donate here! Thank you!
