Africa

It's been two months since I have been home from my life-changing trip to Africa. As I sit and reflect on what that trip meant to my life, there is no way that I can even write down the feelings that I now have in my heart for humanity. If I could live in a "bubble" that was filled with Christianity and all that that encompasses, I think that I would be tempted to do just that. But it certainly is not what I have been called to do..........how can I possibly share HIS love & HIS word with others if I am surrounded by those that already know and live it?!?!

Now when I look around my house, I see the things that "just don't matter". When I look around my neighborhood, I tend to be drawn to the ones that need HIM the most. When I drive down the road and look at the people I am passing or the houses that they live in, I pray that they will know the Lord the way that I do. It's never-ending for me now......the way it should be. Not one minute should go by where I am not wondering how I can advance HIS kingdom, where I am not showing HIS love to others.

I pray that my heart will continue to long for the feelings that HE gave me in Africa.....a drive to spread HIS word, a contentment with the life that I am living through HIM, my ears open to listening to every word that HE is sharing with me, and a love like no other that comes directly from HIM.

ALL OUT
