I sit here aching, in a room, surrounded by friends, wiping away tears before they can see. I don’t know how to explain this feeling other than that…aching. My heart is out there…out in the world, in the places I’ve never been. How can that be? How can I love so deeply people I have never met?

I embrace this ache though, because I know it must be a part of this calling and I know I am meant to go out into the world, to find my heart in the places I’ve never been and in the people I’ve never met, because in finding those parts of my heart, I am also finding His heart.

I really don’t have much else to say. That’s been the case lately. I’ve been so full of thoughts and emotions, but unable to express them. God has been transforming me but I truly have no words. I am left speechless at all God is doing and saying. All I can say is I am learning to walk differently and it is changing my life.
