How have I changed?

 We are back at the base going through a time of debrief. This time is amazing because we are presented with questions such as what are three things I learned about myself? What are three things I learned about God? When we started doing this process I wasn’t sure about my answers but as we continued I really began to enjoy it and realize what I had learned and how my faith had grown. One thing I have learned is that not only a does God care about me but I am in his hand Isaiah 41:10. Another thing is that I knew that God was invested in my story but I didn’t know he was leading it. 

As I look back and reflect I realize that I had doubts about whether or not I was good at missions, who I was to God, my purpose and my calling. I am thankful to God for allowing me to finish this season in Mexico and move on to the next adventure. It has been incredible. I now realize the intimacy I have grown in and how God is in the details. 

I realize I have learned a lot about intimacy with others too, I have learned to live with a team, I have learned to love others who are different from me, and what I like most is that I have grown in boldness. I’m aware that my perspective has changed in a way that I am more bold. This is awesome. What I am most thankful for is the process as a whole. 

This week has also been fun in that we have had more free time and I have been playing basketball, soccer, volleyball, riding bikes, swimming, and spending time with others. We have a Christmas party tonight. I am very curious to see what that will look like as there are over 150 people on base. Thanks for reading!
