Since I've arrived here I've felt this pull to be only concentrating on the things here and what God is doing to me now. I'm having a hard time focusing on that and trying to stay connected back home. So for the next three months I'm going to take a break from facebook and skype. I'll be updating my blog so you can see what is happening with me through that. I'm just trying to focus only on God and give this opportunity I have now the best effort I can.
So I hope this goes over well. I really need this time to focus on the here and now, not what is going on with everyone else.
Anyway, not a whole lot new to report. It's rainy and cold, but enjoyable. Getting to know people more and more. It's really an experience. I keep saying it, but I already feel God changing me. I'm already being more open about my faith, something that has always been really hard for me. God keeps putting me in situations that are purposefully challenging and make me really think and question, be open and honest.
My roommate (for the moment) is really cool and easy to talk and it's always interesting to hear how God communicates to people differently. I'm exhausted. By the end of the day my brain has gone into overload. There's so much I'm trying to comprehend and so much new stuff. That it all gets jumbled and I'm left trying to sort out the pieces. It's a wonderful challenge and it's forcing me to realize who I am and just how much God has done in my life. How many prayers he has answered. How many places he's put me to prepare me for whats next. He really does have this whole thing planned out. Which, sounds silly to say, because of course he does! He's God. But, it's inspiring and amazing to look back, because is just proves that everything is going to turn out perfectly. He doesn't give us anything we can't handle, because we have him and it's through his strength that we are able. It's so relieving to think about. That not everything is on my shoulders. I can do the best I can to help it along, but what it comes down to is God and how much he loves us.
Ahh! It's just so wonderful to feel that way. To have that hope of something better and the relief that God is watching out for you 100%.
My prayer is that I'm able to share that with everyone and influence them and be a light in their life, like God is in mine.
So God Bless!
Always,
Eliza
