one trip i've taken. went all the way back to Ireland. but this time it was for the purpose of God's calling on us to make fishers of men. besides how amazing the trip was and how God worked in every way possible i learned about myself personally.
i made decisions for myself that i could only make having experienced what i had while i was there. seeing kids grow up without a childhood brought me to decide i want to raise up my own family one day in a Godly household where they feel love and comfort and can be kids. i also learned a mother's love from my mom being there. when we were on our vacation i went out at night with a friend and i learned how much she trusts me. how many mothers would let their only daughter go out into the streets of ireland with a boy they personally don't know very well and allow them to stay out well past the am?
but not everyone needs to fly halfway round the world to experience what God has for them...
currently i am in the mountains near Lake Arrowhead at Pinecrest camp and its day 3 and i've already learned more bout myself that God wanted to tell me. He's helped me focus on what is really important in life and what i really need to be putting my attention towards. i can't move forward in life safely if i'm constantly looking back. the speaker this week has been really good about being blunt and honest and just telling us how it is and i feel like after all my stubborness with God these past years that He is finally just saying look megan, you can't do this alone because look at the messes you've gotten into...let me help...
and you know what? its time for me to let go completely and allow God to handle it all...
so far it has been amazing! i feel complete peace about everything and i've never been so excited to read my bible. i started a 30 day reading that starts your walk with Jesus because i look at it as starting over. from this day forward i'm a new person.
but really the best part is...the best is yet to come because i still have 2 more weeks of camps to do then i start my new internship that will also be a job and then i move to my dream school...
i finally am able to walk straight forward and not stress or worry about what happened last week or 2 months ago or even a year ago...it all builds up to today and today builds up to tomorrow but God has given us today to do His will...
so at the end of summer when people ask hey how was your summer break i can honestly say it has been the best summer with God ever...
when we fix our eyes on Jesus and trust in Him, He won't take away road blocks but He will get us through them...
