Coming home...

I wanted to post a video of our trip that I made, it shows a bit more about what we did and most of all it shows the people who I fell in love with!

It is my last night in England tonight and I don’t plan to sleep. For me there are too many things running through my head, from school, to family to Africa and back to school, my house, work, my future… I feel like I’m engulfed with thoughts as I look forward to tomorrow. The truth is I can’t be the same after this summer, God has changed me. Every so often we get a chance to love, and this summer I had that chance. I failed at times and became self-centered, I even at times forgetting my reason for being here: to serve God. Yet my God, who fills me with such joy and love that I can’t help but praise him, gently guided me back each time. He reminded me that he opened my eyes to see poverty and injustice and gave me the opportunity to do something about it. Before this summer I knew God had given me a heart for Africa, for the poor, for the lonely and broken, yet what I saw more clearly is that he’s given me a voice. Now I see my call is also to not remain silent but to challenge those around me, yes even you, to LIVE for others. I plan to continue writing this blog and I hope that many of you will continue to read it. Going to Liberia and working with EMI this summer has shown me what good can be done with faith and with Love, more than all it has shown me that my God has the power to reach into darkness and bring light.
