2011. wow thats weird to say.
month 8. that is even more weird to say.
when I look back to last year before I had signed up for this crazy journey with Jesus- my life was headed no where close to where I am today. I had a different dream, a different plan for my life. I wanted what my heart desired, not what God wanted for me. but out of obedience I followed. and now with no regret I smile.
Jesus swooped in and I feel in love. I feel in love with a Creator who loves me unconditionally, despite my mess ups. I fell in love with a Savior who died for ME. I feel in love with sharing that love onto others. I love you Jesus and I thank you for giving me the wisdom and strength to choose to follow you. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for Christ. hands down. can I get an amen?! yeah I’m weird I kno.
I can’t believe we only have 1 week left in Africa. I’m not ready to leave. there is still so many places I want to visit and people I want to meet in this country. I will be back some day fo sure, Lord willing. On the 28th we fly out to Asia and begin our last leg of the race in the Philippines!! Then the hope is to be in China in March. Then it is off to Cambodia and Thailand. then home. wow. I’m ready to see my family and friends back home, but I’m not ready for this to be over. I love my crazy adventurous life, but I do miss you all and just wish I could pack you all in my pockets and continue on- especially abbey and izzie :[
that is all for now. loves. more blogs about Africa to come soon!
