I am beyond thankful for God leading me on a 3 month mission trip to Nicaragua / Costa Rica! These past 3 months has been a time for me to learn how to process and to heal from my past! I have learned that I enjoy drawing and journaling my thoughts and emotions out! It has helped me to get it out and to realize what I am feeling. I am slowly learning to not be afraid of feeling emotions. I am learning how to recognize them and learning to deal with them.
Half way through my missions trip I realized if my dad was alive I strongly believe that I would have not went on my mission trip to Nicaragua / Costa Rica! When my dad was alive I was trying to help him, trying to encourage him to make a change in his life. It is overwhelming to look back and to see how great God is. I am beyond thankful for God always being there for me and for never picking up and leaving. On May 4th, I started to send my dad a Bible verse. I sent my favorite Bible verses Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Every single time I sent a Bible verse I explained what it meant to me. For Proverbs 3:5-6 , I am thankful for God always leading and guiding me and leading me where I need to go. I am thankful for God encouraging me to send my dad a Bible verse for 123 days. For the last 8 days I sent the Bible verses through a text message compared to emailing the verses. I am thankful for God making it possible for me to go on my 3 month mission trip. I never imagined going to Nicaragua and Costa Rica! I am thankful for God always being in control and leading me where I need to go.
I am slowly learning how to hear God’s voice more clearly and learning how to take a step of faith. I enjoy sharing my testimony. I want to continue to use my brokenness and hurt to show others hope! I am excited to see what God has in store when I go back home. I am excited as I prepare and go off to Minnesota for my graphic design internship in June!
Thank you for your prayers,
Dalice Hudson
