Blah, Blah, Blah...August 28th

Opps I thought this posted...

Hello all, so I have been silent for too long...silently suffering...

My trip to Canada was a challenge to say the least. I was shocked how quickly I could picture myself able to slip back into my old life...opps!

 I would suggest you listen to this sermon from Mark Driscol about plowing forward.

I have realized how much I have one hand on the plow and then I looked back...well for the past two weeks I have been looking back.  And so I have been in agonizing discomfort and reverse culture shock!

Let's take last night for example my nephew was in the bath my sis sitting on the floor with me as I lay on the ground in a pile of tears (I know bad picture eh?) "Why did God choose me to do this work? Why do I have to be the one who makes all the sacrifices? Why do I have to leave what I have known? Why can't my life be more comfortable?"

A big 'ol pitty party is what I was up to!

Then I listened to another sermon about Jacob from Genesis and realized I am just like Jacob(okay don't take out of context..but follow me here) Jacob was not the best candidate for the line from whom Jesus would emerge but God chose him so God could be glorified when he would have the success he had...hmmm...kinda like me. I mean the Buddhist/organic/single gal from Vancouver,B.C. let's send her to go spread the gospel in Africa...WHAT???

Okay!

So I am opening up the lines of communication, back to blogging! I have realized since I came home not only have I been uninspired to write but I now feel like I am supposed to be this big professional blogger so I have been hesitating...scrap that...here is my blah, blah, blah for the day!

Hey what could God do with your life?

    That must be so difficult to give up everything you've ever known to move to Africa. I admire your courage. I think it's expected to feel overwhelmed and miss the comfort of home. It's what you've known, after all.
