I never figured I’d be the one that would be homesick; that
would miss the comforts and routine of my life, but I do. I was weak, but in my
weakness my strength was renewed by God. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But He said to
me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness�.
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that
Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in my
weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For
when I am weak, then I am strong. When we are weak to ourselves, we become
strong in God!
However hard it was the first few days I was coming to the
point of biting the bullet and just being sad the whole four months, be
depressed, missing home, and wishing I wasn’t here because I couldn’t go home
and hear all the questions of why I was home so early, why did I leave, my
pride wouldn’t let me. Yet, God is a God of miracles and when we were in a
session today we were speaking words of encouragement, strengths, and blessings
onto one another. So within the circle one stood, and I was placed into the
circle 3 times. God spoke through my teammates to reaffirm why I am here. I am
here to be obedient to Him, to serve Him, to spread the gospel of peace to the
nations in need! So I thank Him for this and for placing me within this team.
Here’s a few pictures….
