I'm hoping that this experience is a freeing one...this summer I went on a two month mission trip to Cochabamba, Bolivia with 7 other amazing girls. I went through Adventures in Missions and we were required to write at least one blog a week and I was really excited about that opportunity because I love to talk and especially hash out my feelings about what Christ is teaching me.
Coming back to the States after living in a foreign country I was warned will be 'one of the toughest things I've ever faced...' This statement has proven true, but looking back over these past 2 years of my life and the struggles my family has gone through, this transition is seeming small in comparison to those struggles.
In Bolivia I wrote about the main thing Christ taught me that week and I'm hoping to do the same for this blog. My hope (and maybe this is a naive thought) is that this blog can be an encouragement to someone out there... That although we face struggles and pain- that Christ is sovereign, and we are His children. He created us and He loves us...He sees our heart and our pain and His unconditional love covers a multitude of things.
"We can now say with confidence: The Lord is my helper...I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13:6
