New Perspective

This blog was for the purpose of informing every one of my amazing adventures in Australia. Now I’m home… well sort of, I’m back at school in the good ole land of Illinois. My attitude the last few days has been focused on my perception that the adventure is over- now it’s back to the real world of nothing but stress and work in order to graduate in May. One thing I do know is that God is not done with me yet. Maybe life will not be as exciting as it was in Sydney. Maybe I will no longer get to take a ferry to the coast and stand on a cliff overlooking the ocean and watch an amazing sunset…. But the point is that God’s glory is everywhere- and is represented in many different ways. Maybe I will get to see it on Sunday mornings as I help with the nursery or as I stand in a chapel of thousands of students raising their hands to worship. Maybe I will get the opportunity to witness his love as I wait on tables and see someone pay for a stranger’s meal. Little miracles are happening around me on a daily basis and it’s up to me to either see them or spend my time wishing I was somewhere else. As life get’s busier, my prayer is that God will fill me up with His presence and allow me to see Him in the little things- that will be worth more than a thousand adventures abroad.
