Life Learned:
-
Community is necessary, be there for them, and let them be there for you.
-
SheBrews is better together than apart.
-
Electrocution isn’t very fun
-
God is a protector, if he wasn’t I might have been attending a funeral this month instead of just visiting a hospital room.
-
Epic Surprises are awesome…and If the wedding hadn’t been this month, I’m not sure how much longer I could of kept it a secret.
-
Names matter. Take time to learn someone’s name
-
God can redeem places, people, relationships…give him that chance.
-
2nd chances are often needed, and sometimes a 3rd and 4th…don’t give up
-
Traveling cross global by yourself is nowhere as fun as traveling with 34+ people. It got boring at times during the longer layovers.
-
However; border crossings go quicker by yourself.
-
Sometimes you just need some time alone. That’s okay, do what you need to do, to be the best you.
-
Grace. Grace for yourself, grace for others.
-
Buy in; don’t just let life run you buy.
-
Sometimes you just need a little family in your life
-
1st Country I didn’t wear a skirt at all. 🙂
-
Saying goodbye still isn’t eaiser month 6 then it ws month 1.
-
I didn’t think it would be sar hard to say goodbye to Cambodia after the way it started, but it was.
-
Squatty Potties and diarriah don’t really go together, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.
-
Sometimes, it takes you six months away from home to realize what really matters.
“He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!” ~Psalm 111:19 ESV
