It is Good

See those two old ladies watching me? haha

Yesterday, we (Kristen, Cathy and I) went to the Titanic museum. I'm a little bit of a history buff and I loved it! Actually, at one point, I was going to get my degree in history. I just find the past fascinating. Anyways, the museum was awesome. I got to spend time with two lovely ladies and look at a world-renowned piece of history.

I also got to talk to my family on Skype yesterday as well as most of the people from work. It was so nice to see some friendly faces. :)

God has been teaching me so much while I'm here. It's mostly about myself. I find it particularly annoying, if I'm honest. All I wanted when I came here was God to give me direction for AFTER I graduated, not give me a life lesson on how I am. Not that I think I'm perfect, by any means. I know I am incredibly flawed, saved by grace and simply pursuing Christ. It's frustrating to have to learn all of these things that come to the surface when you have time. I have SO MUCH TIME. Compared to AZ, I'm just hanging out most of the time. This allows me to get more school work done in a timely manner, it allows me to rest, it gives me more time to hang out with Jesus and I get read a lot more. All of these things I love to do. It is just different. I'm okay with change, and things being different, but it takes me a while to adjust and adapt. That's my struggle over here. Don't get me wrong, I am doing things for the church and I'm seeing people. I'm doing a lot of walking and sightseeing. It's just different.

How do I tackle different? Jesus. Only way I have strength and courage to do it all. I miss being comfortable. Cause here, I am most definitely uncomfortable. I'm out of the comfort zone that I have been in. Which is good. It's right where I'm supposed to be. I know it. I wouldn't be here if God hadn't come through in the end with the last minute donations, and the money from the garage sale. I know it is God.

He's teaching me dependency. Dependency on him and him alone. I am a rather independent person. At least I think I am. I could be wrong. This trip, I depend on others for my transportation. Or I have to pay for it...on the train, or bus. (I love trains, like a LOT!) So it's not bad. And I depend on people for food, most of the time. I feel like God is showing me how to be dependent on Him, for everything. For what I say, what I do, how I talk, what I talk about, what I think about and how to love. It is almost like I'm starting completely over from scratch and figuring out newer, better ways to live with Jesus. In the end, that's good. And God is telling me the same thing. He's saying that this is good for me. So, I will be open to whatever more he has for me.

Be open to what God has for you. 

It may be unexpected and hard. 

But he says it is good.
