Love

February 10, 2012

Back from Africa. With an experience like Uganda, it is very hard to describe what it was like. But I can say this, it was massively impacting and has changed me. It wasn't all the things you would expect. The poverty was very eye opening, but I think more than that, was the way these people serve and love God. 

I come back to the western world and wonder what success really means. But we will wonder this forever as we go through life. For me, what I have learned is that I will never be successful on my own.  God is everything. I am weak, and I used to desire to be strong on my own; but now, I want to be weak, and become weaker. Because when I am weak, God is my strength.
Independence is drilled on us from day one. It’s where we put our security most of the time. This idea that we don’t need anything or anyone to help us is pretty much a moral in the western culture. But see God requires a dependent person on him.  I recognize that dependence on God is what we need in this life; and this doesn’t mean just saying it, it means living it out.
 God is holy and his ways are more than we can understand. We may change, our passions may change, but God is always the same.  God is the father that loves and cares about us, even when we really don’t deserve it.

Thank you for praying and supporting me on this journey. I wouldn’t be here without your prayer and support.

Life is like a book. This chapter is ending, but we are starting a new book. The introduction might be slow, but adventure will fill the pages with twists and turns we never expected.   
God is adventurous. Amen for that!
