I miss the luxuries of life back in the states. I miss my daily hot showers that last over two minutes, having my own personal space, and having my own room with my comfy bed with six pillows. I also miss being able to use electricity whenever I want, I just want to turn a light on for the sake of being able to… Sounds completely selfish right?
The fact is, it is quite selfish. Being in a country where you are limited in luxuries such as the ones I’ve listed above can be quite frustrating… But when you look at it, it’s kind of a blessing. It allows you to realize what you truly desire. I never viewed myself as being selfish or entitled but, I am, after all I’m only human.
In the end I won’t be able to have those luxuries for another nine months but, I’m okay with that. I can’t wait to see what God has for me during the rest of this journey. It’s a learning experience for sure. Each day/week has been a new lesson. I need to let go of those thoughts and desires and allow him to fully work through me.
