Its now been 9 weeks! I cant believe how much I am learning throughout this time! My life here has been an experience worth living I can tell you that!
I remember when I was in South Africa just walking around in the Christian Bookstore.. I came across a group of girls that I could tell were not from around there... So I decided to speak to one of them asking what they were doing in South Africa.. I found out that they were on the World Race and I explained what I was doing.. Jessica gave me her card and right then and there i noticed that one of the stops she made was in the Philippines. That day was the day I had gotten emails from a friend about some places that wanted me to intern there thus KIM being one of them.. I asked them if they had ever been to KIM before and come to find out.. They had. A few of them had actually stayed there. It was so neat to see God use that moment to show me this is where I needed to be.
There are days where I wake up and think ahhh just 10 more minutes!!!! It brings me back to the days where my mom would wake me up for school and I would always ask her for 10 more minutes of sleep. I am really loving the work I get to do here in the Philippines. God has challenged me more than ever. You know when you think that He couldnt challege you any more than he does and then in a second you realize he has challenged you in something more greater.. I know what that feels like forsure. I sometimes wonder.. Why.. and then I realize its because he loves me and he knows its good for me and best for me to go through right now. Im learning alot about relying on God during this time... If it werent for Him my life wouldnt be where its at right now.
Never before now have I had to live on my own, buy my own groceries, cook my own food daily, ect.. I have lived in a house of people always there, groceries always stalked high., food always prepared, ect. Being here has taught me alot about what its like to be on your own.. to make your own decisions in life and to know that some will be better than others! I am so thankful for the house I have been raised in. I am learning here a little bit of what its like to be on missions and to keep a close eye on money and really think about what I wanna spend it on. I know its different that being im just 20 and I dont have a family to support or I dont have certain things to pay for like other missionaries but.. its still something I am learning more and more while being here.
Seeing that I have made it this far on my own here really makes me excited for the future i have. and what Future i decide to take. There are so many ideas running through my head I wish I could do them all. God will grant the ones he wants and also put new ones in the pile that I may not be too excited for at the beginning.
Thanks for reading! :)
