Pensamientos en Mi Cabeza

Pensamientos en mi cabeza. Thoughts in my head. So many. A new, but dear, friend from my recent excursion to the Dominican Republic just asked me if I'd be interested in going back to the DR next month. Uh, HECK YES. However, there's a slight catch. My checking account currently stands at around $20. I guess I should be glad that that's twenty dollars, not pesos. Either way, that's poor. POOOOOOOR. Don't get me wrong--I'm more than content with how my life is going. I also find not having money means I don't worry about it! Perhaps that's not the way I should view it...

Meh. Either way, money is a huge factor. However, I'm not going to let that stop me. No way. I didn't know if it was the Lord's will that I return to the DR this year when this journey started, and now here I sit having returned two weeks ago. To be honest, it feels like a dream. It blows my mind to think of what God used me to do and what God did in me there. I serve an incredible God. The Joy of the Lord has been restored to me. In my walk with Him, I never want to be tomorrow where I am today. I want to be continually moving forward, taking every step in confidence. This trip has opened my eyes in so many ways.

For the first time in a long time, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I kept a journal while I was down there, and even looking through the twelve days of my journey, so much has changed. If God wills it, it will happen. That's all I can say about a lot of things. I am SO thankful that I was able to go on this trip. It isn't just a fleeting trip that I'll look back on when I'm older--this is a lifelong relationship and partnership with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Our final night there was incredibly hard for all of us because they are our family. I'm getting emotional even thinking about it now! We had to say goodbye to very dear brothers and sisters.

I absolutely cannot wait until I'm reunited with my family. Can. Not. Wait. Lord, if it is Your will that I return in April, please provide a way. If not, I'll continue to worship while I'm waiting. Bondieu Li bon tout nan. God is good, all the time. I will never forget that.
