I had been dying a slow death in Cambodia.
I was drowning in comparison.
Nothing I did seemed to help.
Nothing I did seemed to help.
Today as I finish up a month in Kenya, I have no idea who that girl was.
I have no idea why she couldn't see how beautiful she was,
how gifted she was,
how loved and accepted she was.
how gifted she was,
how loved and accepted she was.
Kenya has been incredible.
Simply amazing.
There was no breaking moment, or divine revelation.
I simply started talking to Jesus as if He was truly the best friend that I claimed Him to be.
I told Him how I felt and cried out for His help.
I told Him how desperate I was for Him to show up in my life because I simply couldn't do it all in my own anymore.
I am too weak, and I began to not just know, but actually believe that he is strong in my weakness.
He began loving me so well.
He even began showing me His love through my teammates,
my students,
my contact,
my friends,
my family back home,
and even through bringing my mom to Africa.
We serve a great God who delights in us,
who loves us with an unending passion,
who wants to spend time with us,
who wants to lavish His love,
who cares for us,
who has only the best for us.

We serve a great mighty awesome God.
I seem to learn this lesson over and over again, but I am so glad we serve a God who is patient and loves us no matter ho many times we forget about Him.
Be encouraged.
Be bold.
Be the best you.
His love is enough.
There is no need to compare yourself.
He loves you the most right now.
