At the beginning of this year i left on a journey to find myself and to find god. i had no idea it would lead to the things it has lead to. i have made new friends and learned about myself and god on an endless bases. i have been pushed so far out of my comfort zone i don't even know what my "comfort" is anymore!
summer has been a trial for me. i have been tested and tested and tested. at the beginning of summer i injured my ankle , not once but twice. i then spent two days at a camp for under privileged kids. This is not the me that i knew. then i spent time seeking god and trying to understand his plan.
some of the things i learned through this summer:
1) life is about choices, God gave us a choice
2) grace
i'm not scared of many things. death is child's play to me, pain is nothing, but throughout the summer i have been scared of so many uncertainties and at times forgot to just enjoy gods earth and his gifts.
in two months i'm heading to africa again. i will be gone for 6 months. and i'm terrified and excited. i'm sad i will miss winter and i'm happy i will be coming back in 6 months.
throughout the summer and now i'm learning to trust god in my uncertainty and to believe he will work things for good even when i don't know what that means.
its hard to believe that almost a year ago i was ready to throw life away and now i'm ready to take life for all i can get my hands on!
i can't wait to watch the sun rise from a mountain top in Africa and think about God, to think about the people that mean something in my life. to reflect on the beauty God has laid before me.
I'm ready to step foot on red soil again and be used by God. i want to experience a whole new level of my creator. i want him to flip my world so far upside down it will take me weeks to make sense of life. its terrifyingly amazingly awesome!
