Home is a Relative Term

I am finally home from beautiful, wonderful Africa...for now :) I had an amazing time. The relationships I formed with the missionaries in every city in Uganda and Rwanda, the native people, and with all of my fellow interns are forever impressed on my heart. Through the opportunities I was given to lead, serve, follow, and learn I grew so much! The challenges of a 3rd world culture allowed me to see how flexible God made me and how much more I can do through Him than I thought. I learned a lot about myself and working with people of very similar and also very different personalities than me. I wrote a journal during my internship, separate from this blog, which I will forever hold close to my heart. I was not ready to leave, but God simply planted a seed of passion for the African people that will blossom when He is ready for me to go back. For now, more one year of undergrad at Harding. Then, God only knows the rest of my plans. Thanks for following my journey! Until I return again, see you later Africa!
