I cannot even imagine feeling more connected to a group of people moreso than I do right now. Today I met my fellow interns for Uganda... and let me just say that it had been inspiring to be sure.
To start off with, I never even had to tell anyone that I am a hugger. I was met at the door with one and more waited inside. :D This absolutely made my day. I have had the awesome opportunity to listen to stories of life and ask questions, time to observe, time to hear the hearts of our leaders, and time to make s'mores. What an incredible night!
Beyond and slightly deeper than all of that, tonight has been a night of connections. We are all a tapestry woven together by a loving Weaver's grand design. And how well tonight represents that! People here know people that I grew up with, people that I have done ministry with, people whom I have never met but have heard their names several times at work. Friends of friends connect the world and it will give you goose bumps to realize just how small of a world it is in light of such an unfathomable Creator. At least, it does me. I can look out the window of an airplane and watch people grow tinier and tinier with each passing second, and it stirs a feeling of insignificance within me. Beautiful (no sarcasm added). "He must become greater; I must become less." And this week has been such a wonderful reminder of that. He knows me better than I know myself. He knows the future. He knew I would need a fast before my toughest week at work in a long time (spiritually, emotionally, physically). He knew that the leadership of Sozo would repeat words back to me that I tell the girls daily, and that because I say them, I can understand and appreciate the full value of them. My God is faithful. He sees and HOLDS everything, and yet wants to know me intimately. God is wonderful. And God will do even greater things than these. I love You, Abba. Thank You for being You. Please help me bless others as You have blessed.
