February the twenty first.

Well life has been interesting these past 5 and a bit months. It was brought to my attention that my blogging hasn’t been particularly informative concerning the actual work I’ve been doing during my time here with Pamoja Ministries. I suppose that’s because I assumed everyone wanted to hear that life was going great and that I’ve been having fun. I know in my own mind I’ve undermined the value of the work I’ve been doing, so maybe that’s why I only blog about the adventures and fun times. Now I begin to see the error of my ways! There are so many areas that I have had the opportunity to be useful and a blessing to this ministry and the people here. And yes, it’s a good feeling. If you’ve read my blog from the start, you’ll know that I came here with absolutely no set of skills attributable to my person. Yet still I was used, and considered an asset to this mission base during my time here. I’ve met a ton of amazing people from all over the place, and even some from close to home (Oh Alison, you Kelowna girl, you!) I don’t know what God has in store for these people, or if I’ll ever have the chance to see them again, but that’s alright, as long as it’s for His glory. Yay!

In just three days I’ll be out of here, and onto the next segment of my life, full of more adventures, more new people, more living for Christ, and definitely more rain. Who knows how much I’ve changed since coming here.. I feel as though I’ve stepped out of every comfort zone that I’ve laid down for myself, and honestly that’s a good thing. Maybe I’ll be on the receiving end of some frowns of disapproval in the future.. But probably not. I’m a good girl at heart, I’ve just decided to not let others impose their views of life on me. I don’t want to impress YOU, I want to impress Jesus! That’s the big ol’ theme of livin’ for me right now.  (As it should be, may I say!)

Oh yeah and I totally want to come back here. But I need a lot of prayer. I have no idea if it’s just what I want or if I’m being called here yet, and then there’s the huge financial thing.. With the money and stuff... Which is always lamesauce. So pleeeaase pray for guidance and wisdom and everything great!! .. For me. Because I’m greedy. Bwahahahaha!! On second thought, just pray for the will of God in my life. That makes it more simple. KTHXBYE.
