Its official! Back in the motherland!
To those of you reading this blog, I would like to say THANK YOU for supporting me while I was away. Whether that was through finances or prayer, or sending me small notes of encouragement along the way. It was greatly appreciated, and I cannot wait to share with you guys about my trip!
Right now I am overwhelmed in a lot of ways, the main emotion going through my brain is gratitude. Its funny how there are some things you always know in the back of your head, but they are never actually REAL to you. This is not a blog about ‘this was me then, and this is me NOW!!’ (I’m trying not to make it that way, it’s a little hard when Gods been doing ‘soul surgery’ on you for half a year.)
Currently, at the moment I’m just trying to think and process about what God has done and what he has been doing. Not just this past season of ‘DTS’ but in the many ways of my life that he was there but I just couldn’t see him working or moving, . and…. Its scary business, but the only real emotion on my heart is gratitude. I have never had more thankfulness for God in my life. I’m starting to see that God is good all the time. No matter where he calls me (those words might come to bite me back in the butt) but again, God is always woth it.
weeds and snow?
God still has a lot of growing to do in this girl and I hope he never stops. I hope the bible never stops fascinating me and that God never stops speaking through ordinary people to me. This past season for me was a season of weeds. God growing me like one, and God doing open heart surgery and taking weeds out. Weeds that I didn’t know where there, but once they were out I definitely felt lighter.

for now I’ll play in the snow for all its worth until God shows me where to go next =]
Being out of familiar territory like Vegas, where everything feels ‘settled & ok’ because I have community. But I am starting to open up and see a much bigger perspective on things that I didn’t even know was possible. Right now I am just working on making my own eyes/heart available and sensitive enough to the fact that God does speak in every kind of way. Even (and especially when) it is weird and bizarre.
much love!
