So, someone, who is very important to me, said that I should start my blog now before I leave. Well, miss friend here you go!
First, I would like for you to know that the blog before this one is one that I wrote in August, the beginning of the semester, and against my better judgment I left a large chunk of it on this page for all who are interested.
Let me repeat, this is probably AGAINST my better judgment! But there is something important in this blog that I would like for all reading to see. That these blogs will be completely based on how I am feeling and who I am. I don’t want to fluff up my blog, then it would just be dull and no one would want to read it. I just want this to be a page where I can be raw and real with all who end up reading it.
As you may know I am going to México with in… one month. I have much to do and a lot of lose ends to tie up. But I know in my heart that I am ready to go. I know this because of the refinement I feel God has done in my heart over this past semester. Wow, so many of the things I said in the first blog are not in the same place I am now. I am very encouraged in Spanish, I know longer fear it! I am very thankful for the friends that have sharpened me over the semester. God truly spoke through them in my different areas of my life. And the best thing is that I am no longer in that same place with God. I am beginning to understand that I have to depend on his GRACE. That if I do not lean on him or take part in the work he has laid out for my life then all this work is in vain. God is so good! He knows the perfect timing for all things, he knows when we need rest, when we need encouragement, when we need to be alone or with fellowship, and he knows the deepest desires of our hearts. And with that being said, I know I will take this deeper understanding of such a mysterious God to México with me! I may not understand at first and the beginning will be a little rocky but he has the ultimate plan and I don’t want the time to be in vain. So, I will hold tight to him so that I can accomplish his leading in my life.
Thank you for your time and interest in reading my short little blogs. I hope that this will be a way to stay in touch… (maybe you all could write some blogs!) I am thankful for you all!
good luck reading all my blogs… remember they are going to be as raw and authentic as I feel lead. So, there you all go… my disclaimer.
