Life is an adventure...

I close my eyes letting the pastel pinks and navy blues of the sunset settle in my memory. Suddenly, another wave of people head towards me. I take a breath as I begin to pass out New Testaments again. "my-uhn-fayyy," I try my best to pronounce with a big smile as they walk by.

"Am I saying this right?"

Then I remind myself what it is all about. These people may have never had a chance to hear about Christ before, let alone know what a Bible is. This may be there first taste of hope. So, what does it matter if they continue to laugh at me? This could be their last opportunity to get the Word. Who knows when they will ever come in contact with a Christian again?

It's moments like this that I want to make the most of, letting the adrenaline of the unexpected push me forward.

What a blessing to be a part of the ministries I have been working with here. I have learned so much about myself and about the world and working with people. I have learned about the heart of God and about the example that Jesus gave.

Just for You, God.

 I had to share this video of the song "We Were Made For You" by Aaron Gillespie. I've been stuck on his worship CD for a while now and this video is making me miss being abroad. I can't help thinking about how we were specifically designed for the purpose of glorifying God. I want to live for Him in everything that I do.

In other news, I have a new blog, solely for the purpose of sharing my YWAM adventure... please check it out:

I will be leaving in March and can't wait to share exciting news from the school! Please be praying for me and the rest of the students as we learn more about serving, our identity and living out our calling.

And I leave you with this...
