His purpose will prevail

(I really need to get serious about this blog thing.)

This summer I had the opportunity to go back and serve in Africa, a place that captured my heart last summer. Me and my awesome team of 15 others spent half of the trip in Uganda and the other half in Ethiopia. I have been home for like two weeks now but I'm still trying to process everything. There was so much that God did in me. I prayed that He would wreck me and break me and He listened. Africa is special and life changing.

I still chuckle when I think about the fact that I have been to Africa twice (China once) in less than a year. God doesn't need me but He has chosen me to be apart of His plan and what an HONOR it is. His plan for my life is the complete opposite of what I had planned but that's okay. His plan is WAY better. Lately the Lord has been reminding me that I have a special purpose here on this Earth and I just need to wait (patiently) for Him to reveal His plan to me. This is a challenging season in my life but I'm learning so much. I have lots of stories to share with y'all about Africa (and I am going to do my best to actually blog about them). Till then I leave you with this verse:

"You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail."  ~
Proverbs 19:21

His,
