Study abroad.

Here i sit, reflecting on the lunch i just had with my good friend Courtney Lanier. It was so encouraging to sit across from her and realize that we both have the same heart for missions, and that we both want to go to the same places. We both sat at the table and dreamed for an hour about what it would be like to live in South Africa together for 4 months. The thought made me get so excited, and i believe that that lunch was very important. It got me passionate again.

As soon as i finished lunch with her, i was so so eager to tell people. I wanted to tell everyone, but to my surprise, everyone was not as excited for me as i thought they would be. Then reality set in: In this passion that i have, i am not normal and not everyone understands. I remember my sister talking about this, but i just never got it but now i do. It definitely is frustrating and it hurts when people do not have enough faith in God to realize that and earthly thing like money can be taken care of.
But here i stand. Ready to prove them wrong.
Tell me my God can't do it?

that's what i thought :)
