So I definitely missed the first year anniversary of "Stayin Gold" and I must say that I'm frightened by how quickly this year has gone by. But it was a good one (for the most part). There were struggles, but since the summer it has been nothing but change and growth and adventure. And I laugh to myself....that's what this blog is about but I never imagined this is what my journey would look like. Although we never do I suppose.
And this week is Christmas. India has weighed heavy on my heart this week. I don't know why. I don't miss it. I miss the believers and my dear dear friends that are still there, but I don't miss India. I miss the culture and the excitement that was my trip, but not the country.
This summer I'm staying state-side and going to Atlanta with my precious 7th graders and other middle schoolers that I'm good friends with. We'll be working with Church on the Street in ministering to the homeless. I'm scared but excited. This will be a chance for me to bond with teenagers younger than me and to actively teach and lead them while also sharing Jesus with people I don't know. Plus this will push me further out of my comfort zone. India wasn't so bad cause they love Americans, but it's going to be much more work to in Atlanta, and I'm excited for a push. I think it's been a long time coming.
