I got to talk to an old friend today who has seen me go through many trials and overcome them. She told me that I had a great testimony and she was thankful for me. I thought to myself,"I have a testimony?" I guess I had never really thought of the harder times I have been through as a contribution to an actual testimony. She was completely right though. I would not be where I am now without having to overcome particular hardships. The past few months have been pretty difficult in my life and I was not sure why exactly. I have recently realized that the reason things were so hard is due to the fact that I didn't have any idea what I was doing. For as long as I can remember I have been the stable person in my surroundings, meaning that I was the one that others could rely on and talk to about anything. I was always so worried about how the things I did would effect those around me, rather than thinking about myself. Well recently, things have settled down in my life and things have definitely changed, mostly for the better. Since these changes, I had a hard time figuring out my purpose since no one really relied on me as much. I now realized that this was God telling me that it was time to think about myself and straighten out my life. It was at that point that I began praying for him to open a door to an opportunity so that I could live life through him. The door has been opened and showed quite clearly. South Korea. I am truly terrified of this experience that I am going to take place in starting on May 5th. Even though I am scared, I can't help but remember the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by Ginny Owens, "You never said it would be easy, you only said I would never go alone." God is by my side so I know that everything is going to be alright and that I am about to embark on one of the most amazing journeys that I will ever take. Keep me in your prayers....
