And here we are, the beginning of another new year. 2020. I sit here reflecting on what I learned in 2019, and it’s basically the same lesson I have been learning for the last like four years, needless to say up to this point, I hadn’t completely matured in the areas God was pushing me to grow in. I still found my identity in other people and in who I wanted myself to be, and who I wanted to be did not line up with a Godly woman.                      In December a lot of events occurred that sort of forced be to grow closer to God, to realize that God is the only one that truly knows what’s best for me, God is all that I need. So over the last few weeks I’ve truly found myself falling in love with my Lord, yes I fall in love with him often, and everytime it’s after I finally learn a lesson I’ve been ignoring. 

I am so excited that this is the year I get to go back to Costa Rica, this is going to be a year of growth in my faith. God has given me such incredible opportunities, he has strengthened me so much in preparation for this. I know that when I go out into the world, anywhere in the world, they will see God in me, because in the end that’s who I want the world to see. I know that when I go to Costa Rica, my life will be touched and I will touch others and that’s so cool to me. 

God is maturing me so much and always has been, and without his guidance I would be so lost. I pray that I continue on this path this year, that I follow God whether he’s clear or not. 

If you for any reason want to be a part of this journey with me, maybe you will consider donating to my trip, I need about $2000 more to be able to take part in this opportunity, if you don’t feel lead to do that, no worries, prayer is always a wonderful way to help me in this. Be praying that God provides in these next months and that I continue to grow and fall in love with him. 

Thanks guys.
