I know He is the Creator, so why do I wonder who will destroy?

I know He has forgiven me, so why can’t I forgive myself?

I know He is a healer, so why of I speak of sickness

I know He can do all things, so why do I say I can’t?

I know He will protect me, so why do I fear?

I know He will supply all my needs, so why can’t I wait?

I know He is my strength and my salvation, so why do I feel weak?

I know that everything and everyone has a season, so why when someone’s season is over do I weep instead of rejoice?

I know He is the right way, so why do I go the wrong way?

I know He is the Light, so why do I choose to walk in darkness?

I know that whatever I ask of God, God will give me, so why am I scared to ask?

I know tomorrow is not promised, so why do I put off for tomorrow what I can do today?

I know that the truth shall make me free, so why do I continue to lie?

I know He gives us revelation knowledge and understanding, so why do I lean on my own understanding?

I know I should live in the spirit as well as walk in the spirit, so why do I choose to live in the spirit but walk in the flesh?

I know that when praises go up blessings come down, so why do I refuse to praise Him?

I know I am saved, so why do I refuse the word He has given me?

I know He has a plan for me, so why am I rushing it because I am eager to do His will, when it is His time not my time.

Looking back...

Well, as many of you probably know, I'm back at home after my 10ish weeks in TX. Looking back, I wouldn't give up the experience for anything. I might have had my moments of frustration or disappointment, but I know 100% that God took me to El Paso for a reason.

What did I learn?

To rely on God when I'm in a new place and desperately lonely for my family and friends at home.

To see God work in a situation where I disagree wholeheartedly with the status quo.

To understand the importance of having a solid support network surrounding you - people of every age.

To work across language barriers with as much grace as possible - every child deserves to know the love of Christ.

To remember how pumped I get to teach kids about God - it's such a rush. I wish I could have that feeling all the time

To go wherever God leads me without too many expectations because sometimes expectations get their butts kicked.
