In my short short life, I have been ridiculously blessed. Fact is though, 18 years is nothin. As my 19th birthday approaches, I'm realizing over and over how young I really am. In life in general and spiritually. How silly was I to think that I know whats up?
My DTS is intense as the schedule from my previous blog entails, and as the days come and go, every class we have challenges me in a new and different way. Teach me things I never knew. And while I am so thankful to be here, I can't deny that it is overwhelming. The things we are learning and talking about and being exposed to are hard subjects.
Everytime I get down, or discouraged, or just want to go home, it's almost funny how much God smacks me in the face with His love. This is just one example, but Sunday, after the whole week of working and schooling, the last thing I wanted to do was walk to church. 30 minutes of walking when I was so tired to go to a church in another language just didn't sound good to me. But, as we are walking to church, I saw the most beautiful sky I've seen in my life. Like standing in AWE sky. Take your breath away sky. It's hard here, but God loves me and He wants to bless me. He sees me trying to do my best to please Him and do well in this school and everytime I feel overwhelmed He blesses me with His creation, a kind gesture from one of my friends (when I was down today Teresa brought me a cup of Coke Zero), a promise from His Word, or an extra ten minutes of Skyping with my boyfriend.
Galations 6:9 ,"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
No one said it was gonna be easy, but worth it? DEFINITELY.
