About 6 months have gone by since I got pulled off the field in March and recently I have been thinking back on all that happened. To tell the truth, I had spent most of March mad at God because He chose to send me home and no matter what I did I couldn’t change that. I spent a lot of the time focused on what I didn’t get to do, like finishing the trip, I missed out on most of my team’s favorite moments of the trip, we left so fast I didn’t get to say goodbye to one of my hosts in person, and so much more.
But 6 months later as I am looking back I can see all the things I DID get to do! I got to go to Ecuador and do ministry and explore that amazing country with an incredible group of women. And just because I came home earlier then planned doesn’t mean God stopped blessing me. In fact, ever since I got home my blessings just continue to grow! Since I was home for Easter, I got to spend it with my family and God gave me precious time with my amazing grandmother before He took her home this August which I will always treasure. I also got to join the youth group from my church on their mission trip to San Antonio, TX in June where I got to learn a lot about myself and my walk with God and take time to help the ministries there as they are pouring into the local people each day. After we got back, I got the opportunity to become a sponsor in my church youth group, where I have been continually learning more and more about Godly leadership from the amazing leaders there.
God is absolutely amazing!! I may never know the reason why I had to come home earlier than planned, but I do know that even though it wasn’t what I wanted or chose, I have been incredibly blessed!
This is awesome! So glad you are still processing and recording what God is doing!
So good, I think needs a second part about how much God loves you and how you lived that here!
