Life in America taught me to be self sufficient. It taught me that we are what we do so we better be doing something pretty great with our lives We better be writing ourselves a pretty great story to live out and to tell.
But life here in Guatemala, with God and my lovely team, is teaching me something completely different. For so long I have taken it upon myself to be the grower of my own spiritual fruit, the keeper of all my emotions, and the controller of how I am presenting myself to others and how they receive me. But God told me to abide in him. He directed me to John 15 which continued to show me that I am able to do nothing apart from God but I can do all things while I rest in his love and abide in him for all things.
I can't make myself feel love or will myself to be patient. I have to ask God to cultivate those fruits in me and TRUST that he will. I have to trust God is using me exactly how he wants to and be actively listening to what he has for me each and every moment of the day. When it comes down to it, God will have his way in all things and trusting in that is the most beautiful and freeing thing I have ever done.
