Yes I know, I know
I literally have not blogged in months. I am sorry for lack of updates. It is 2 in the morning and I can’t sleep so I guess no better time to catch ya’ll up on my life : D So here we go!… Well, I am obviously no longer on the race and now am back home in the good ol’ US of A. I have been home a little over 2 months now and home has been so many things. It has been: hard, fun, refreshing, annoying, exciting, crazy… the list goes on and on. There have been many times for sure where I have felt completely out of place, like a crazy person among a bunch of ” normal” people. ( I mean who is normal these days anyway) God has given me such grace in this season and He’s teaching me how to have grace on others as well. While it has been a bit of an adjustment coming back home, I have loved getting to be home and seeing friends and family, getting to go to church, having anything I need so easily accessible. It was also such a blessing to be able to be at home for my birthday and Christmas. Since being home I have been able to spend some time with different youth at my church, (I love to love on them, they so desperately need it.) I have gone on a young adult retreat, I have helped my grandparents with some projects in their house, I have gone to Mexico on a week mission trip, and have been to plenty of church services and Bible Studies. I have enjoyed it all. God has really taught me about true ministry and how I can be doing ministry anywhere I go. I just have to take the time to 1. See the opportunities God is giving me, and 2. Be obedient and bold to seize those opportunities (Carpe Diem!!!) but One thing is for sure though, my heart is longing to be back on the field. There was a time where I would of laughed if you told me I would actually want to be back overseas but I have come to embrace it. I love missions and am called to GO. Some people’s dreams consist of getting married having a good job and family… mine consist of being overseas, having once in a lifetime adventures, different languages and cultures. ; ) I don’t know what is next exactly. I am praying about a few opportunities(prayer for divine appointments and clarity would be greatly appreciated.) , and as always seems to be a challenge for me I am fighting to stay present and enjoy this time and soak all God wants to do in THIS season right NOW. I’m choosing though to say yes to God everyday and all He wants to do in and through me. I love you all and am so thankful for all the love and support you give me.
