As month one comes to a close, I’m packing up and after shuffling through my belongings and trying this way and that to get everything into my backpack, I’m dumbstruck. IT. WON’T. FIT. I’m a little confused because I’ve managed to get rid of more than I accumulated. My pack is basically the same as one month ago, and yet overflowing…Pretty similar to how I’m feeling. I’m the same Morgan – Same clothes, same hair, same smile – but at the same time I’m different.
Lesotho has changed me in ways that you can’t see and my soul is packing way more than I came with. There has been fullness in serving our ministries – In learning about their mission and seeing the impact they are having on the youth of Lesotho.
There has been fullness through loving on kids who’ve had more of an impact on my life than they’ll realize. Even today as we said our goodbyes, a few said “See you tomorrow” not grasping the concept of long-term. For as much as we’ve loved them, their love comes so genuinely and naturally that it overflows and fills all who are blessed with their presence.
There has been fullness is diving deeper with the Lord and living my days in pursuit of a deeper relationship with Him. Seeing Him show up in a stranger or a teammate has been encouragement and inspiration to live life with Him and for Him.
So although I can’t place my finger on why exactly my pack won’t seem to fit all of my belongings, I am aware of how much more my soul is bringing along all thanks to Lesotho.
