welcome to another world

Recently I had the opportunity to visit the U.K. for some training. They really had to twist my arm to get me to go, but I finally relented. Yea right! I was stoked! I spent 8 days in southern England, and in a word, it was BRILLIANT! The climate, the people, the fresh fish for dinner. . . a friend of mine, Swanger, asked if I would consider living there? In a heart beat, my friends! I don't feel bad at all for praying that God will send me to the U.K. someday. I just wish I had a chance to see more of the country, but they had us pretty busy in training.

I included this picture because it's one of my favorites. It's the view out the window of my Bed & Breakfast. I was so excited to get all of my film developed--all six rolls! :) It has yet to cease to amaze me how God is blessing me on this journey. To be able to meet His people all over the country, and now THE WORLD, is a blessing I truly underestimated. We had the opportunity to look at so many different cultures and it is beautiful how everyone is so different. It shows the majesty of God and His creativity to see such huge differences and yet still have the common thread of Christ's love to hold us together. I also chose this picture because it signifies how my worldview is changing . . . with every person I meet and every place I go, my eyes are being opened to how grand the plan of God truly is. He also shows me the great span of His Hand -- it has to be huge for all of us to fit in the palm of it! :)
