Just Run

Over the last month, I have been challenged by brothers and sisters. It has been difficult but at the same time very rewarding. I have enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone! I have seen so many things answered and so many rewards. That's all for now

God's Timing

As I reflect on the past two weeks, I am so encouraged by God. I decided towards the end of July that I would stop running from God's calling to go to Spain for a mission trip with my church in Des Moines. I am so excited for this because I know it is what God wants me to do with my life. He has called me to stay in Des Moines and love my family here. I was a little leary to go back to Grand View this week, because I just wanted to travel this school year. God decided to tell me to stay at GV towards the end of July as well. I am working on being content with living in Des Moines and giving up my desire to go all over the U.S. this fall and spring. God has a purpose and plan for me to be at Grand View and I am waiting to see what he has in store. As I was listening to a song this morning, I was super encouraged by the words. Here's a little excerpt from the song "I Will Go" by Starfield:
Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to see the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change

Have a great weekend!
