I forgot how much I enjoy drawing when I'm not being graded.

Mark 10:29-30
Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.
It's funny, sometimes when God wants you to know something, He makes it pretty hard to miss. This verse was laid out before me three times last week. First, it was in a sermon I listened to. Then Friday some staff that are taking time off to go to Grad school talked about their experience in Guatemala and this was one of the verses they talked about. The third time it was in a different fashion.
A friend of mine got married this weekend. And by friend I mean the one from the relationship that I had to sacrifice for me to fully follow Jesus. The one that broke my heart, knocked me off my block. It reminded me of how God's plans are always best. If we hadn't have split, I wouldn't have gone to Architecture school. I wouldn't be here at eMi. I would have missed out on a multitude of blessings that I would have never imagined. If I had gotten what I wanted at that time I have no clue where I'd be now or what all I would have missed out on.

Well I have really been stumped about what to say about my trip to Haiti. It was like pulling teeth writting my newsletter. It was the antithesis of my Costa Rica trip, but it was still wonderful. They were two completely different experiences and it just made me want to serve full time even more. The people were so passionate about our Lord, it blew me away. Again the words escape me so I will quit my attempt to express myself.
