Wow... so it amazes me how that God can take lessons that you have learned in the past and bring them back around just when you need them! As some people know, this trip to Colombia has been something that I have looked forward to... and once I got here it was going amazing! However, there were some things that weren't like I expected them to be... and I got really discouraged! I won't rehash all the things that lead me to that place, but that's where I was!
Today I was talking to a few friends, one that just let me talk and "process", and for those that know me, you know I am a verbal processor! My other friend shared her blog with me, and then I remembered this blog... I had forgotten that I even started it, so I shared it with her and then actually went and read it for myself. And a couple of the things that I had written about applied yet again! Am I going to let this situation in Colombia harden me and make me turn away from my passion? Or am I going to let it teach me!!! And teach me it has!!! Am I going to trust God to work in me and in those around me while I'm here? Or am I going to be frustrated and irritated because things aren't going how I thought they would go?
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am here in Colombia for a reason and for a purpose, and I know that God has lead me here, and I know that i want to do this for the rest of my life!!! So why did I ever have a doubt that just because things fell apart that somehow this wasn't what I wanted??? God's bigger than all my challenges oh and He can handle them too!!
So this is the first in my new series of blogs! I can't promise what will come out of them, but I promise that God will be the center of them! :) So I hope you enjoy this journey of lessons with me!
