So me and the girls have been here a little over a week and a half already and I cannot believe the work the Lord has already begun. Our PFK location is a tad different than all the other ones mainly because it is currently he newest one, there is a lot foundation work that still needs to be laid down before we can become enamored with the precious little faces that live in this area. I see the pictures and posts of the rest of our family that is currently all around the world and it brings such joy to my face to know that all 12 of us are currently in the exact and perfect will of God for our lives. No location is the same, no host family is the same, no PFK is exactly the same and no team is the same. And while at times is may be extremely easy for me to sit there and point out the differences, and go "hey that's not fair!" the Lord always brings me back to a point of remembrance and awe at the realization that He has cultivated this perfect set up for me, He knew what I could handle, the lessons I need to learn, the experiences I need to go through that will further shape me into the image of Him He wants me to portray to the world.
I know and believe that Antigua Guatemala is where I am supposed to be for the next 6 months, and while my heart still longs to travel the world and experience new things and cultures, right now I find myself in the epicenter of God's plan for me ( I'm sorry can I take a second to just marvel and the amazing and incomprehensible fact that there is absolutely no other thing that I could be doing that would be as beneficial to me that what I am right now?!?! The sense of security that it brings me is astounding!)
While I know and recognize that these 6 months are going to be filled with some of the most amazing moments of my life, with people that I will never forget and experiences that will forever leave me altered and that when I look back I will just stand amazed at the journey the Lord set before me there's a little voice that reminds me of advice that I received not to long ago.....It'll never happen in the way you think it will. A lot can happen in six months, and for right now I am more than content to take it one moment at a time and enjoy every second of it.
