So I have totally been ignoring my blog and I'm deeply sorry for that....
The Last week at the Ranch was a sad one for me, I saw family member after family member board a plane or get into a car and drive off, and I myself boarded a plane and flew to Miami for a few days before heading off to the field.
If I'm being honest, ( honesty is the best policy after all) I have to admit that I wasn't all that excited to come back to the 305. Don't get me wrong I missed my family and friends a lot, and it was indeed very nice to see them again, especially considering it'll be another seven months before I get to do so, but other than that, the city just didn't have a hold on me the way it once did.
If I've learned anything about being back here for the past few days is that God is not bound to any one geographical location. It sounds like a pretty obvious concept, but many times I selfishly believe that God is present in my current location and that's pretty much it. The physical location doesn't determine how much or how strongly you feel God's presence, that comes from you're personal relationship with Him and purposing yourself to spending time with Him and in prayer.
In less that 12 hours I will have officially landed in Guatemala, the every so anticipated field location, but what will determine how strongly and clearly I experience the Lord and His will isn't the fact that I have crossed international boarders, or I that I have officially by dictionary definition have become a Missionary. That is determined by purposing to dedicate time, effort, energy and heart into my one on one relationship with the God of the Universe, regardless of where my physical body may reside.
