Two years ago today, I moved to the pearl of the Caribbean. I set off for a life changing adventure to a culture, people, and language I had yet to really know. I didn't exactly understand what I was getting myself into, but I was excited for what God had in store.
Since the moment I stepped off the plane and into my new home, my world has been flipped upside down. Now, two years later, I better understand the culture, I have incredible friendships, and I can speak the language (well, sorta). My faith is stronger, my eyes see things differently, my heart beats to a newer rhythm, and my soul feels a whole lot deeper. I am in love with the students I get to serve. Although it's been a rough ride filled with heartbreak, stress, and a whole lot of humbling, I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
I'm honored that the Father chose me to live this life, that he decided I am the one who gets to love these students, that I get to witness his faithfulness in unimaginable ways.
I'm excited and hopeful for what lies ahead as I follow Jesus into another year. Year three, here I come!
