August 2nd, 2012 - Garden Valley, Texas/ Home
It is over. MONTHS of fundraising, filling out forms, praying hard and now all of it is over. I am home. But am I really? Yes, I love my family. I am elated to be reunited with them, but I left parts of my heart on the other side of the world.
I have never felt this way before. I have listened to Kara and her stories from Peru. God moved this summer. When we speak, God moves.
I am home. I was treated to roast beef and a room full of balloons flowers and chocolate. I am loved. But so many people are not. I have to go back, and I have to ALWAYS be the hands and feet of Jesus.
My trip might be over but I will never be the same person who left two months ago. It is going to be hard. Sometimes, I might have to stand alone. What do I say when I am asked how my trip was? I had many encounters with God and I am closer to Him than ever before. I saw people healed, children get saved, adults renounce their false gods.
Never underestimate our God.

First time together in 53 days!

All the stuff we brought for our trips.
The balloons to welcome me home!
Welcome back to the sunflower state! Chocolate, too!
