rambling thoughts

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
-Psalm 16:11

i'm loving life right now. i've been reading this verse over and over this week. although i do not know where God is going to take me next but i know that i can trust Him. always acknowledging Him in everyday life really helps me know that He is in control. I am just a willing vessel waiting to be used. i know that i'm not always ready but i thank Him for His grace and mercy on my life. the Lord is doing something good in my life right now. i can't wait to see where i will go or do next in this new season.

Lord, guide me with your righteous, right hand.

from kenya to kentucky

it has seriously been a crazy month for me. i have to been to Kenya and then two weeks after i got back, i went to Kentucky.

Kenya was amazing. it was beautiful and peaceful. i honestly did not want to leave. my heart is not necessarily for Africa but a child of any age has my heart. i wanted to stay with them. i did not miss a single thing in America and i honestly believe that i am capable of being a full time missionary if God called me to it. I know that is not my calling but i am learning to do what the Lord wants me to do in the present time. i don't want to miss anything. there are so many stories i could tell you from Kenya but i will not write them all on here but as i think of some to share, i will do so here. i also blogged while we were over there on the Restoration Ministries website. you can view there if you want to know a little bit more on our trip.

Kentucky is a beautiful place. I went with Fuel Student Ministries to Kentucky Church of God Youth Camp. i absolutely loved it. i never think i would to do ministry at a camp but i really enjoyed this one. i didn't get to interact with the campers that much but just praying for them and for my students blessed me so much. The Lord we serve is so good. we definitely had some trials but the Lord reigned and i continually encouraged my kids to let go of their frustrations so they can serve with a servant's heart. i also had to give my frustrations to the Lord because those kids drove me nuts sometimes but we can't serve unless we are right with the Lord. The Lord moved so much at this camp. we were the young teens and these are the most troubled kids. they may have behavioral issues but i didn't see it; however, they come from families who are not good to them. i loved being with them. The Lord is so good. I'm in awe of the work i got to do for the Lord. I give all of the glory to Him.
