Home at last
So, I've been home for a few days now and am starting to get back into the swing of things. I haven't started babysitting yet and so this week has been filled with miscellaneous appointments, organizing pictures, seeing friends, family and Jake, and trying to make sense of what happened in these past eight weeks and how that applies to my life back here at home. I'm still processing that a little but have enjoyed sharing stories and pictures with everyone I come in contact with (I even told my dentist about my trip this morning before getting two fillings done! haha)
Anyways, I wanted to just post a final blog thanking you all for praying and supporting me over these past eight weeks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see most of you in these upcoming weeks so I can thank you personally and show you LOTS of pictures and all the stories that go with them. For those of you who I won't get to see, thanks for your prayers and support. Know that God is doing some amazing things down in the Dominican Republic and that I feel so blessed to have been a small part of His work down there. If enough of you are interested I'll try to put some more pictures up now that I have a more stable internet connection.
One final thought that I was reminded of again down in the DR is how important missions are and how we are all called by God to be missionaries of his love. This doesn't necessarily mean long term missions overseas, but simply living life as a servant to those around you and in that way showing Christ's love. In this way, maybe without even knowing it, we can be a small part of showing someone the loving, faithful, and forgiving God that we serve. Thanks for your support of my trip and I hope that all of you will continue to support others who are considering overseas mission trips but that you will also realize we each have our own mission field in our backyard where God calls us to serve and love His people. May God continue to bless each of you in your own lives. What an awesome God we serve!
