Wow… today marks one month back at home!! It’s taken me a whole month to write this post cause it’s so hard to put into words what happened over those two months away! Here’s just a small glimpse of what I learned!! This trip marked the first time I was away from my family/home for more than a week! Kinda my style to jump head first into the deep end :) This was also the first time I ever experienced real fear and almost anxiety… I was already an emotional wreck the first week when I found out that my dog died. Something so simple sent me into an absolute spiral into crying myself to sleep at night wondering if the people I love would still be there when I got home. It was quite an awful for a while but it taught me a lesson I’d never had to learn before… how to fully rely on God and trust that he’s got it under control even when it doesn’t feel like it! Like I shared, the first week was rough. And in that I learned and found so much comfort in the fact that Jesus cried too!! He catches every tear and feels my pain so it’s ok to cry! It feels so much better in the long run to just let the emotion out because when you hold it in it leads to nothing good for you or the people around you!! And then the most resounding thing from all 8 weeks was ITS NOT ABOUT YOU!!! None of it is!! It’s so easy to get lost and not realize how often you really are putting your needs above others. It was honestly kind of a shock… it’s just kept coming up and honestly I don’t know if I’ve ever been more humbled in my life. Throughout the month of May we did a city wide campaign called No More Shadows. We went into over 140 schools and got to give over 71,600 students a gospel message and tell them how loved they are and that suicide is not the answer! Hugging girls as they tell you they’ve been abused, no one loves them and they’ve thought about ending it all is a pretty humbling experience. It’s not about you. Continued in the comments!!
