Dun, dun, dunnnnnnn.......

My outreach team!! Me, Jessie, Petri & James!! What a great group!!!

Well, here I am yet again attempting to tackle the thing I loathe most in life.......packing. I'm sitting here surrounded by all my belongings and it's always inevitable! Packing ALWAYS makes my mind go into memory mode. So here I am, thinking back on the past 3 months.
It was such a shock that God brought me here. I seriously never saw it coming but I can honestly say that I'm so grateful that He gave me this opportunity. It has for sure been a huge learning experience with plenty of ups and downs but seriously they've been great ups and downs. It's seems kinda strange to say that i've had great downs, but those low times for me always pushed me to God. I've learned so much more of what it looks like to depend on Him completely! I know I have so much more to learn about that though but I trust God to continue to teach me. Especially as I lead this outreach with just Him. I know in my own strength I cannot handle this, but I got Him. He will give me exactly what I need.

I'm so grateful that I've had Mary and Mirjami in my life these past 3 months. God has blessed me with 2 new amazing friends that I love so much. I've so much enjoyed getting to know them and lead this school with them. They have been so much fun to share a room with. I'm gonna miss all our craziness so much!
Mary has been such an example for me. She's encouraged me so much in my personal leadership skills and the fact that she trust me enough to ask me to lead this outreach speaks volumes to me. I really am honored. It's also been such an encouragement to seek God with her because we seem to always hear the same stuff! She's also taught me so much in the kitchen. I know i've for sure grown in my cooking skills! :)
Mirjami is like a sister to me. Were so much alike it's kinda scary but at the same time I've learned so much from her. She's so solid in God. She's an amazing leader and the best pianist EVER! I don't care what she says, she's super talented and by far my favorite person to listen to play the piano. She's helped to keep me going even if just by praying for me when she see's I'm not ok. I love our talks that we have whenever we go for a walk. I'm gonna have a hard time living without PTSCT and also playing music with her. She's an amazing person and i'm so glad I can call her my PTS. :)

I live a crazy life. People come and go all the time and it's super hard on me. I've been searching for one person who could be with me all the time and i'd never have to say goodbye to, but the reality of it is, there is NO ONE that can be that for me.There is only one constant in my life and that is Him. Wherever I go, whatever I do, I always have Him. I never have to say goodbye to Him or leave Him even for a second. He is my everything, I am never alone. It's taken me so long to get to this place, but I'm so happy I finally see it. I love Him.

Well I should probably get back to packing. My side of the room looks like a volcano of clothes erupted!! Haha!
