It's amazing going back to this blog and looking at the different things I've posted on it.
I am sure I disagree with myself now with some of the things I wrote on here. So much change has been coming to me in my life. Thankfully, I still appreciate a lot of my own writings, but it's interesting to see that the best things I wrote were whenever I felt closest to God.
Unfortunately, writing for me has been fading into something nearly non-existent in my life...but I do want to continue to write. Hopefully I will get back into it again.
I've written a poem here and there, but a couple of the times, it was just for the sake of writing, and not necessarily from inspiration.
I almost feel like I'm writing on some strangers blog
Never would I have imagined that at this age, I would have gone so many places and experienced so many things.
Ecuador was amazing, and really changed me. The friends I made there were so awesome...but I hate the feeling I have of growing apart from them, and each day getting more adjusted to going back to my life outside of the context of missions.
Life has changed though permanently for me so far. I thankfully have a general direction I'm headed to also, and that is save up money, try to get into Moody Bible Institute to study international missions, theology, hopefully Spanish and other things too. Afterward, hopefully get into Story Runners, and be a "Bible Servant." Which is going to different communities around the world, living among them, and preaching the gospel to them and telling them stories from the Bible.
I don't feel like I was a missionary this summer. People seem to think I gave up so much, but really I don't feel like I gave up as much as I gained. I also want to preach the gospel to those who haven't heard it, so that's what I'm aiming for.
It's been interesting revisiting this blog....who knows if I'll write on it anymore, and if so, where I would take it, I'm not so sure of.
Sorry for all the incoherent rambling of mine. This is how my mind has been in the works for quite a while now
With His love,
April
