Africa seems to be picking up speed on the arrival date. I am putting the finishing touches on the letters I will be sending out to raise support through prayer and financial means. It is encouraging to write so many addresses and see the people in my life that I can trust and involve in my life and my activities. I sometimes feel solitude, crashed away at school, busy with a life full of random events, homework, class, eating, and sleeping. I used to do these things with, relatively, the same people for 17 years, and for the past two it has adapted to such a different scenery. Change is AWESOME! Looking back on all the addresses of people from those 17 years with the addition of people from the past 2 is such an awesome reflection of the community that God has provided for me.
I feel that life keeps adjusting us so that we leave that consistency and expand through whatever means we let happen. Letting God decide what your expansion is creates such amazing connections, experiences, communities, miracles. Have you ever asked what your purpose in life is? Everyone has or will. One of the great thing about God is once you answer his name with that question thats all that you have to worry about again. Everything is taken care of after that. Life is simple, we want to complicate it but we are built to serve and worship. That pretty much covers everything. Romans 1:18-20 " The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. since what may be known about God is plain to them. for since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities -his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." It is so hard for us, me, to accept that it is so simple to just see and believe God. We of little faith.
