Happy 2011!
I know that I haven’t blogged in a few weeks. I took a few weeks off from writing about ministry and just listened to what God was trying to teach me. I was struggling with a lot of the things that I was seeing and somehow managed to forget that God has already overcome every situation of despair and any trial that I could possibly ever endure. This doesn’t mean that my heart isn’t still aching for the people around me and that God isn’t revealing major callings to me for my life, but it does mean that I now remember that everything is possible through Him and only Him.
The Lord revealed a lot of things to me that I’ll write about later, but for now I just wanted to wish each of you a Happy New Year and let you know that I’m still alive and doing well! I started out my new year in a way that I never thought I would…eating dinner in a hotel in Zambia and then bungee jumping, zip-lining, and gorge swinging at Victoria Falls a few days later. My new year’s resolution is to conquer my fears…one of which is the fear of heights. So, I bungee jumped off of the 3rd highest bungee in the world. Go big or go home, right? I was terrified, but am so happy that I mustered up the courage to JUMP!
One thing I’ve learned the past few months is that you can’t be afraid to JUMP. Sometimes life is random, sometimes you really never know what is around the corner, and sometimes things don’t go as planned…but life’s short so you might as well jump off some bridges and live it up, yeah?
I pray that this year will be one of abundant blessings and an overwhelming amount of the love of Christ. Live with no regrets 🙂
