so i have been here for a little over a week. so many emotions and experiences have filled my days here so far that i’m not sure if it’s possible to communicate with ya’ll how i feel.

moving to seattle has been one of the biggest & toughest decisions thus far in my life. everything seems so far away and distant. I knew upon moving here that i would be lonley and it would be hard, but it was so much easier to feel as if i would be okay with that when i was surrounded by a group of my fellow youth group members, or walking the streets with my family. Now that I am here by myself I question my decision.

Although I know it is in His will that I am here and I know without a doubt that this is where I am meant to be right here..right now..I pray that I would be delivered peace and certainty as to how long my time in seattle entails.

I am thankful for the people I have spent time with here because they have been such an encouragment and good company for me as i try to keep my mind off home. I feel as if I am having to rely on our Lord more than ever and for that i am thankful as well. it’s a really cool realization when you come to find out that only HIS words can bring peace and only HIS love can succomb darkness.

My thoughts are constant prayers as I walk streets and places I am unfamiliar with.

Heal me. Use me. Renew me.
