Looking back at all I’ve learned, it sure has been a lot to discern. So I will begin by saying the best. Forgive my rhyming it might be a mess.
Oh India I was a complete mess, I remember being in distress. Longing for home, missing my friends, always complaining without an end. But through those hard times, the Lord shut up my mouth, He gave me great joy I had always lived without. This joy that He gave me can only come from above. I know this now because I never felt so loved. So loved by my Father who was watching above, a heart of discipline that overflows with love. After the joy he began to untie, some chains I had grabbed and never denied. He showed me my sin, and asked for it all. It wasn’t so easy to get rid of them all. But as I let go, more freedom I felt. He showed me a life of dying to self.
Off to Nepal I was so full of glee, to finally be free of the humidity. Again the Lord revealed Himself, a different way than I have ever felt. Through another man I was able to see, the Lords amazing plan for me. He wanted me to know, how He loves me so. The father I had missed was right there below. Below me to catch all the burdens I had. He never wanted me, to be mad. Mad at people who left me in the dust, he promised to never leave me in distrust. So now I see His plan for me. I am living out my destiny.
So back to the heat, my squad and I. We have 4 months but African time does fly. Africa oh Africa you have been so sweet, so many people we daily greet. 2 months have gone and now we’re half done. I can’t believe the women I have become. No make up, no clean hair oh yes it is true I can’t believe I’m admitting this to you. But I have learned now where my identity lies not in my face but beneath my eyes. This will conclude my story today, I hope you enjoyed it and I’m excited to say, my story has still some pages to fill, while I am still conquering all of my will.
