How do you answer the question, “How was your summer?”
When
your heart was completely broken, yet completely filled almost every single
day...
When you had moments where you laughed until you cried, but also moments
where you could not choke back the tears...
When you still can’t get over or
explain just how amazing and faithful God was and is in even the simplest
things...
When your heart and body still ache so much from leaving and your
stomach is still not yet convinced that American food is such a good idea...
When everyday your mind fills with the beautiful faces of those who completely
captured your heart... When you don’t know if those beautiful faces are okay
right now...
When you know how likely it is that some of them are or will head
to the beach this very weekend because their mothers have told them that they
cannot return until they have made $4 by selling themselves…
When your reality
and perspective have so drastically changed…
When you are still trying to
figure out how to “adjust” to life in America…
When you still don’t really even
like hot showers and feel super wasteful not turning the water off
during your shower…
When you know that you are suppose to be here in the States
and are suppose to go to school to become more equipped to serve those you love
but it still hurts not to be with them…
Funny...I thought I'd read all of your blogs:>) This one caught my eye and my heart. So the answer to your question...You just do it and you did!! It was and is still hard, but you put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward with Jesus with you all the way. He knows your heart and He is doing a beautiful work in it. Love you girl!!!
