Ok, so I’ve titled this entire blog thing A Journey in Love for a lot of reasons, really.
I’ve recently been shown that to enjoy life, I just gotta do things I love – starting with Zambia -and I have to stop planning my life so much. So all I know is that I’m going to Zambia this fall because God led me to the opportunity and I snatched it up. I don’t really know why or what’s going to happen or anything. But I know that God’s got my back and He’ll see me through it all. His love is greater than any I’ll ever know. It’s a journey in His love.
His love is what fills me. He overflows my heart with joy and this adventure in Africa is all about Him and how He’ll transform my heart and life.
"I'm not who I was" is kind of the whole idea here. I have changed, I'm changing, and I will be changed. You should listen to the song by Brandon Heath - it's pretty great.
For now, I'll leave you with this general idea. You all know it. Say it with me now. :)
"Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13
I try to do a lot of things in love. That doesn't mean I grow attached to everyone I meet, it just means I think I have good motives, especially when I use my heart. I know Zambia is "not for the faint of heart" so Ms. Bingham told us all semester long, but I that definitely describes me. It's ok though, because it allows my heart to be molded.
"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:10
