Have faith by taking God’s hand and LIVING life.
My feelings about my new school, Intellego, and my return
back to the States have changed recently. I used to be afraid of returning to
the States. I thought it would feel like a dream, familiar but strange at the
same time, probably because I’ve had several dreams about it already. I talked
to one of my friends who’s lived in Guatemala for over a year. She said there
weren’t any strange feelings when she visited the States. I guess I thought
that my dreams would be a reality.
Before I moved to Guatemala, I had a horrible dream about
someone coming into our home and stealing everything. I tried to forget about
the dream. But now that I look back on it, I know that my dreams are nothing
but thoughts. And that bad dreams like the one I had, don’t come from God… or
the outcome of my dream, feeling scared of Guatemala, is not from Him.
Now I feel excited about going back to visit. I always thought
I had two “lives”, one in the States and one in Guatemala. But that is not true
either. I have one life. I am just in another part of the world. That humbles
me. Being in another part of the world, shows me how “small” the earth is
compared to what I had imagined and learned about it before. It shows me how big
God is because in this country, I see so many more little details, little
pieces of God’s masterpiece, and then I realize that I am just a stroke in
God’s beautiful painting.
I used to be a lot more scared about moving to a new school
too. Not just because it’s another big
change and that I will have to adjust and make new friends, because I love that
part but it will all be in Spanish! I
was skyping with my Grandma today. I
practiced my Spanish with her. She encouraged me. She was so proud of all the Spanish spoke. Although I have a lot of Spanish to learn, I
have accomplished so much. I need to focus and be thankful about what I have,
and keep going rather than dwelling on how far I have to go, and worry about
what I am lacking.
God has taught me so much recently. He has taught me to have
faith, trust, peace and love. If I have these qualities in my life, I can let
go and let God take care of the rest. When I go back to Colorado, and to
Intellego, I will be equipped on how to handle things. Love God by loving my friends and classmates. Have peace by humbling myself before God, and
being calm in all situations. Trust in
God that He will protect the way. And
have faith by taking God’s hand and LIVING life.
