| Sorry I haven't posted lately, and honestly, this will probably be the last for quite awhile. I am struggling to find some me and God time and sitting on the computer is frankly not helping. Although this Xanga site has truly helped me to learn to journal and to be open with my thoughts, it is time for me to let it go and learn to live without this form of technology.
Thanks for reading! Love you all! | | |
| I had the privilege of baptizing 6 of my Junior High girls this past Wednesday evening. Some I had since I led them in a small group from 1st-4th grade. Now I will have them again as 7th graders. It was such a humbling experience and a great reminder to part of my calling in life to work with students. It also reminded me that when you least expect somebody to be observing your actions and listening to how you interact with others, this is when you are being observed the most. I'm not perfect and don't pretend to know all the answers, but I know the truth and want to speak truth into the lives of those around me through my verbal and nonverbal communication. | | |
| Life is a road trip with only one driver--Christ Jesus. The road I've been traveling has seen all the seasons of life--many winters and a lot of springs, summers, and falls. And through it all, I've seen the beauty of God's creation in my surroundings and in my personal life. I just have to remember this roadtrip lasts my lifetime, and there are still wide, open spaces for me to experience and explore. However, I need to take it slow; otherwise, I will miss out on life-long lessons. I'm not certain where my next destination will take me, but I'm not going to fight for control of the wheel either. I just know I am in another spring season of my road trip--where I'm growing spiritually and continually living and breathing new life. I look forward to the new people I will meet, the things I will do, the things God will show me. I feel complete freedom with Christ Jesus as my driver. | | |
| This has been the first chance I've had to write anything about my mission trip to Cost Rica, and I'm not really sure if I can put my experience into words. The impact that it had on me in such a short period of time is making me truly evaluate my direction in life and if I should go into the mission field for a longer period of time. Please be in prayer for me as I am not clear of where or when this could possibly happen. All I know is that I am feeling it in the core of my being and heart. | | |
| It was wierd going back to the office today after being gone for two weeks. There is so much I can probably write about my trip, but I think the biggest lesson I learned was to "seek God with all my heart and to lean not on my own understanding." I also realized how much I missed photography as a hobby and how much I can see God's creation through the lens of a camera when I truly focus.
