Keeping the peace…

 

Well I just want to start out saying that is has been a life changing experience for me and God has taking to some low and high expectations. Even though I didn’t plan to have expectations when coming on this year long journey. I was just hoping during this year I would have a Adventure and see what God has done for his children around the world. It has been some down points and higher points to coming to each country. I have found at least one thing I learned in each of the countries I have visited. 

 

For my first country I have learned how to evangelize and take my time in waiting on what the Lord has me do each month for ATL. That was the month I had in Belize. Honduras I learned so much about loving people in a way that I normally don’t love in that way. Because Jesus sometimes wants us to be still even if my patience is not all the way there. El Salvador was exactly the opposite. I had to learn to be loved which was probably my favorite month so far. The community and church we were apart of was just so loving that it was the first time I cried being out of America because it was so hard to leave these people especially the children. Vietnam I learned that God can set you up for things to talk about with hIm and gave me the opportunity to plant a seed in the conversation.

 

Now on to Cambodia! It was another hard month because it was another ATL month! I had a hard knowing what God wanted for us but he guided me to find our next project. That month definitely taught me to listen more to what God has for me and to have freedom in peace of my mind.

 

Now to say about this month other than working really hard in doing farm chores and being totally in my element. During one of our team times we wrote down stuff about the fruit of the spirit on each and one of us. Mine said peace which means that I need to be careful with my mind and be at peace with it.
