2 years ago, I hear about YWAM. I was distant from God.
1 Year ago, I thought more about YWAM. Still distant from God, and getting angry about it.
7 months ago, I was probably freaking out about packing for Kona, looking forward to a heart change.
4 months ago, I said goodbye to all my amazing friends from DTS, and took off for Haiti. I was much more aware of my Creator's presence in my life.
1 month ago, I stepped back into my life in Wheaton, Illinois. Completely different.

I still can't believe all that has taken place in my life in the past year. I was trying to decide what school I wanted to go to at this point down the road in 2010. Now here I stand, having gone to Hawaii, Haiti, and completely, fully, unashamedly in love. (and tan). The Lord has been so good to me. So much grace, it abounds to no end. I will never understand it. Ephesians 3:17-19 says it all. "..I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." We are called to be firmly rooted in love. Everything we do, everything we say, must be done out of love. We can only accomplish this by knowing the ultimate Love. Get to know Him, He won't let you down. Don't let your first try getting to know Him be your last try. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9.

He will reward our every effort to get to know Him. So I will continue to do so, all the rest of my days.
