So much on my mind and heart that I want to share that its quite difficult for me to organize my thoughts...but here goes. Im so grateful for my experiences these past few weeks on my first mission to Africa. I have a greater appreciation for life, for all that Im blessed with, and a greater hunger to spread the good news of the Lord. Hes allowed me to see the manifestation of John 15:5 in my life - Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. Before I knew the Lord, i never had a mindset that I could accomplish anything. Now I know that with Him I can do anything and everything, in accordance with His will. Im thankful for all my past relationships, for they led me to the one true one that I was missing, but the one that was and will always be the most important - my relationship with Christ. He has filled me with a love, joy, peace, and forgiveness I otherwise never would have known. He has taught me that I can soar on wings like eagles, I will run and not grow weary, I will walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). As I wait in eager expectation for the next chapter in my life to unfold, its my prayer that it involves a family. Although I know that with Christ in my heart and in my life I have all that I need now and forevermore. But I wont deny my heart yearns for a family of my own. Whether it involves me having my own children, or me being a mother to orphans, or maybe even both, only the good Lord knows. I trust in His timing, and I trust in His sovereign will. Til then, I rely heavily on prayer, for His strength is made perfect in my weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). And I stand on Psalm 37:4 - Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
