Something Beautiful

Two years ago today I left the comfort of my routine life and my lackluster heart for God behind me and I went to go experience something MORE! I left with nothing more than a backpack filled with clothes, my brand new bible, and a head filled with screaming doubts; and I experienced something my mind never even could comprehend would happen: SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

Four countries, four months, and five girls I didn't know led me to something so amazingly wonderful that my heart and spirit weep of joy when I reminisce of it all. Of the heartbreak, the homesickness, the hurt, the fear, the doubt; of all the worries I carried with me. Of the arguments, the late nights, the early mornings, the hot days, and the spicy foods. Of the laughs, the smiles, the tears of happiness, of the hugs, and the adventures. Of the eye opening, heart exploding, sheer love and joy I found in my Lord and Savior when I finally truly opened up and believed! I treasure every single moment of those four months because it broke me down and built me back up into SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL!
