As I sit on the train, I begin to wonder about how 2011 will look for me. I have just left Union Station in the beautiful city of Chicago and am heading home to Jacksonville. This visit has taught me many things. I have been able to see the many stages in life that people go through, throughout the years. I have gained the importance of life long friendships, and why people stay in our lives. I have seen how important a simple conversation in a car with your mother is. Yet, it all comes back to God and how he works his amazingness throughout every step we take.
Since it is the new year, i chose not to make a resolution this year. I am promising myself that I am going to live a healthier and more spiritual life. This is a lifestyle change not just something I am going to give up on in a month. I have made some very hard decisions this year, and while I know that God was with me each step of the way, it can still be hard to let go and let God.
As for Africa, I am extremely excited that God is leading me to be involved in this project. I will be getting more information after our meeting tomorrow. I am so excited to find out everything that I can! I normally would be afraid of having to get shots or anything with needles and doctors but not his time! I know that everything will be amazing!! Stay tuned... There is much more to come butthe train is getting a bit bumpy to type.
