Life seems surreal when reflecting back. How is it possible that I'm at the end of my second five month adventure with YWAM? Is this where I'd imagined myself in May of my 25th year? Absolutely not. My imaginations were far more ordinary. One can never really predict where life will lead; certainly not where God will lead. My feeling however, is that a big chapter is ending and an even bigger one is about to begin. I've seen and experienced a little more, discovered more of my identity, and I'm eager to approach this next part of my journey. Where is the path leading? If I try, I can see some signs, some obvious possibilities. But in my heart, I know my God has a plan. A perfect plan, at that. And I intend to wait on Him. What a special time this has been. Difficult and challenging at many moments, but rich with growth and purpose. I will leave Costa Rica with a full and satisfied heart. And the knowledge that I'm protected, valued, and LOVED.
