Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. -James 1:27

A long time coming

It's been a year. One to be exact and oh how things have changed! I've learned a lot and have grown more than I thought I would in such a short time. 

To see the Lords work in my life over this last year is truly a humbling feeling. (Im going to be as transparent as I can be). A lot of people asked me why I never finished my blog. I actually tried to a couple of times but was always at a loss for words.  It was hard when I came back from Africa, really hard. I was depressed for a while and didn't know how to explain or handle everything I had experienced both internally and externally. I saw a lot. I was frustrated. I knew The Lord did something in me and I didn't know how to quite vocalize how I was feeling with people. I also knew that I was in transition for something that was yet to come. I was unhappy with work when I returned and a lot of other things for that matter. Africa opened my eyes. Yeah,  it made me appreciate things differently but it did something more than that. I don't have any remarkable answers or profound words. Except, who really knows why The Lord works the way He does? I still don't have all the answers and I most likely never will. Those last couple of weeks in Africa are some that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. It truly was a life changing experience. 

Anyway! Fast forward 7 months and I'm just 4 months shy of moving to Maui for 3 months. Umm...what?! Craziness you might say? Again, God requests some wonderfully crazy things and its our job to say yes and go. ( Hmm, I wonder if He knows I have a taste for adventure? ;) Of course I questioned Him, I am human. But after some thought and prayer, I said yes.  And once again, August is the month ill make the move. (I'm starting to think that maybe He likes the month of August?) ;)

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20

This will be my last post for this blog. Once I get things in order, I'll start a new one and will update every one on what ill be doing in Maui. Until next time, kids. :)
