Moments

Its incredible how quickly time passes. It was over a month now that I was in Kansas City for the Orientation Program put on by Avant. As I set out in organizing my first fundraiser, it amazes me how all of the initial emotions of excitement, nerves, and wonder come back repeatedly.

At this time last year I was contently working at The Radical Roaster, a coffee shop in Ludlow, while simultaneously doing a full-load of online courses. Never did I expect that I would be soon setting off on a life changing journey that God had in store for me. I can't get a mental picture in my head of Him sitting up there just laughing to Himself and this ridiculous, unsuspecting girl who is about to be taken up in a whirlwind of events. He's clever like that.

There are days here, that I feel I know precisely which step to take. There are other days that I feel like I'm stuck in a tunnel,...where you can see the end. You know where you need to get, and yet you have SO far to go before you reach that destination. You know, those moments where you feel you just might not make it all the way to the end? But it is in those moments that God shows me His hand more than ever. I once heard that it is in the darkest nights that the stars shine the brightest, so for those moments...those dark nights, I am thankful!!
