A few weeks ago I was having an in depth conversation with one of my teammates Kelley. We were talking about life and how there are so many different choices to make, and how is it that I know if what choice I make is the right one or not. I'm the type that when I pray I feel like God might be telling me to do something, but I've never had the 100 percent positivity that it is something that God wants me to do. I've always just gone down a path and if after a while it feels wrong I turn around and go another way.
As I was talking to Kelley about this all she told me a great analogy that someone from her church had shared with her back home. She said that life is like a huge playground, one day I might want to swing on a swing but the next I want to be daring and swing from bar to bar on the monkey bars. It does not matter what piece of equipment I choose to go to just as long as I use it for the glory of God. Like in a blog before, showing love to everyone along each path would be a great way to get my feet in.
I look at this mission trip as my daring time of swinging from bar to bar on the monkey bars, and home being the nice gentle swaying of a swing. As I'm on these monkey bars sharing the love of God to others by trying to build relationships or just by acts of service I feel like my time here is not yet up. I strongly believe that God has more planned for me in the future to come on this mission trip.
While I strongly believe that God has much more planned for me here at the monkey bars I sadly do not have the funds to stay much longer. In order to stay at least until the end of June I need $2,800 more, if not I will be ending my journey after this month. God is in control and if it is meant for me to stay the funds will come in and if not I will go back to the swing set with a smile on my face, even though I might not be ready to. All I ask for is your continued prayers and if you feel lead to donate it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your prayers and donations!
With love,
Mary
