But what a waste it would be…
So this is the blog where I tell you where life is going for the next four months. Since returning to the good ole USA, I’ve had a lot of down time and a lot of time catching up with friends and family. It’s only been about two and half weeks but it feels like months. It’s wierd. I know this time has been good and necessary. Now God is allowing me to leave agian!
It’s been restless figuring out where I fit again in this place. This was my worry in Romania, how will fit with my friends, in Charlotte, and with family and how do I function without 30 people around me? In Romania I realized that shouldn’t be a worry anymore; I fit with my Father. He gives me access to where I need to be. So I believe that. I’m trusting in that. Being home I thought, shoot I should get a job. The whole ‘whatever your hands find to do, do it to the best of your ability’ hit me over and over. So I applied at places and for this reason or that reason, the doors didn’t open. Mostly I felt like I was rolling dice to see what would happen. I did it over and over…the seven (or whatever number wins) is leading a Real Life trip. I realized that I may not be called to leaving forever and that somewhere, at some point I’ll set roots down again but I do have time now to serve. Eventhough I applied to lead a trip in January opportunity presented itself now. So I’m going to Kenya!! I’ll be leading a team or twelve young people (18-22yrs) on a crazy adventure. We get to invest in a ministry for four months. I’m not entirely sure what my responsiblities are however, I’m begining to love leaving again. You should know that this wasn’t an easy decision to make, I mean I did just get back from my World Race. I believe God just wants to use me to serve and there was an opportunity…so go!
I will continue to blog throughout the next few months right here, so please follow the adventure! I’m not exactly sure what internet will look where I’ll be but I will share stories and life in Kenya as often as possible!
Below is a song that I hope you enjoy…
I like songs; I like that they capture ideas, emotions, and energy. This song gets me excited {as do most of the Paramore songs} and it tells a cool story about just doing something that allows your abilites to shine in {yea my own interpretation}. Paramore is just another band and yea we have tons of bands…but what a waste of talents if they didn’t keep trying.
I don’t want to waste…
And next week I seriously cross the world while you’re sleeping!
Thanks for all the love and support! You guys rock…so keep on rockin’!
