hello from the mountians

                                             

                I am heading into my 12th week at the ranch. God has been good. Through homesickness, computer crashing issues (okay, the hard drive fried and everything said goodbye to me). I am reminded how essential it is to rely on the Lord for strength.

Problem solving, being flexible has been a great little challenge.  Growing in videography skills as I use it for ministry has been such a blessing. I think one of the greatest thing I've learned these past few weeks has been learning the servants heart and mind set for day in and day out even if your exhausted, building relationships and listening ear. You are always last. Putting all of that into practice has been amazing, hard, but amazing! I am always a little nervous to put an extra effort into a relationship when I am not sure if I will see that person again! I love having community and relationships with people I can always hang out with, so that's been a stretch. But God has been teaching me through having a servants heart to have a servants heart that loves unconditionally and to invest emotionally into people!

    Though I cannot wait to go home and serve my family for however long God has me there before any other adventures He throws my way!


So I encourage you all to love unconditionally, but not vulnerably and don't think less of yourself, but think of yourself less. People are the best way to invest, whether that's your time, money, energy, emotion. Go love people! :)
