When my journey began on June 23, I acknowledged how insanely desperate I was for God's love. I deeply knew that my life was going to be changed for eternity because God began pouring into my soul and transforming my heart. In the past 20 days while living in Guatemala, God has taught me to listen and then to pour.
I have so desperately longed to be a person so powerfully woven together in my faith that I listen in a way that is directly rooted in God. With listening comes this deep desire to respond in a way filled with God's overflowing and abundant love. I desire to learn to place God's plans above my own, to share how beautiful my Savior's grace is for others. Antigua, Guatemala has graciously grown me so fearlessly in the Holy Spirit. I have a strong passion to experience the goodness of God's presence. I never fathomed how much Guatemala would change my spiritual relationship with God, but I am constantly witnessing how God will continue to pursue me and seek after my spirit. With 8 days left, I am leaving to be a person I never knew before.
