some reason I always find it easier to think of something good to write bout when it comes to
writing emails than when I go to write a blog. Lately, there’s been approx. 90898211 random
thoughts going through my head …I always just feel like a blog has to be
something so put together, deep and profound… I guess that’s good, but
I’m not really all that prim and proper, and put together… so this is a
bunch of randomness…
It seems to be the assumption
about missionaries…that we are perfect. Ha.ha! That’s what I used to think…until
I became one. Then I saw that we are just as ordinary as the next person. Actually,
in Comparative Religions in high school, I totally failed the test on
Christianity! Oops! And YES! I was a Christian then, but then again, it’s not
like I did so hott on any of the tests for other religions either, but I did still
passed them…(( try not to be intimidated by my intelligence hah)) The point is,
anyone can make a difference, the question is are you willing to say yes?
put on that front that we do have everything put together and are a step above
the rest….I don’t like that. From all ends, I’m pretty sure the facade is common knowledge, but no one really seems to do anything to bridge the gap and change
it. We need to start. Andrew Shearman always says, “if we master any two things in life it should be: HUMILTY AND
THANKFULNESS.” I completely agree.
That’s what we all need to strive to live like that. If we start living like
that surely things would begin to change.
Answering the questions of the week: How do you feel about going home?
It’s just a fact of life. Seasons come and seasons go. Change is the only thing
permanent in our lives…so, yes. I can say I do look forward to what is next,
however, I really haven’t thought about how I feel about it. Maybe excited, but
more so just indifferent. I’ll be ready when it comes, but until then,
honestly, I’m not going to dwell on it, because I am here! Loving life!
And what are you going to do next? Welllllllll I am going back home to
Pennsylvania, of course. Then I want to begin to change the world…totally cliché.
That starts by making a difference in the life of just one person, and then
another and then another. K that’s a pretty general statement ((if you want to know more, let me know and I’ll
send you the extensive version of HOW I am going to do that)) No one ever
told me that I could change the world, but I do wish someone would have. And
now that I know I can (through Christ obviously), I want to tell others and
empower them to do the same!
We didn’t have classes this
week, as it is practicum week, meaning other responsibilities. I’ve spent most
of my days, on the computer attempting to connect G42 to the World Race by getting in contact with people who are interested in coming here (if you are
interested! WRITE ME!),
and reading/commenting on countless blogs like the one you’re reading. Although
it’s mucho time staring at the computer it has been restful, and I’d say
an encouraging week hearing people hearts and being inspired by the thoughts and
stories of those on the field… All in
all, life here has been absolutely amazing. We are going
on our third day straight of no rain…well, maybe it rained today? But just a
little. Anyways if that’s the biggest dilemma in life then I sure do have a lot
to be thankful for!
ps: If you think of anything deep
and profound you’d like me to write about pleeease let me know and I’ll do it.
k. That’s all! Love you all mucho!
