I was looking out of my hotel window at the highway below. I was thinking about all of the places those people must be trying to go. Even though I was supposed to be on the field with my team already, I tried to keep a positive outlook on everything. Although this particular night, it seemed to be a little extra hard. 

I’m thankful for a team that understands the power of worship and connection because just when everything started to get the best of me, my team video called me. They were at a worship night and wanted to include me! As praise filled the room, tears filled my eyes, and God filled my heart. God was speaking beautiful things to me, so I thought I should write it down in the most beautiful way I know how: poetry. 

1,800 miles away,

Yet I got to worship with them tonight.

Seeing their passion while they praise 

Is really quite a sight. 

I can see the stars from here. 

I can feel the light. 

Yes, the warmth of your spirit

I can feel it despite. 

Despite being across the world 

I can feel you here. 

Even when I am far,

You are near.

Even when things are uncertain, 

Your presence is clear. 

~ God > Distance 

I’m getting retested tomorrow to see if I’m Covid free. Hopefully, the results show I get to join my team for their next worship night. If not, I still know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
