Wild abandonment!

Another post...Look how good I am doing on keeping this up to date. It is 2:39 am and I cant sleep. I am starting to get very sentimental about everything I am leaving behind in 14 days. Its amazing!

I finally began to unattach myself to America, and being here for only 2 months, I feel like I never left. This is why it is strange to know I am leaving. I have the excitement that I am sure every missionary gets before they go out. Its the excitement of the unexpected. Not knowing what God will do, I am also anxious.

I will miss my friends and family so much! Its those tears that will be shed on the 13th that I dread. When I am here, I forget how valuable people are in my life. For example, tonight I opted to sit and watch tv all night instead of interacting with amazing people who have shaped me as a Christian. Priorities!!?? haha

This is probably why I have all this energy that I is keeping me from sleeping. Also, the news of what is to come in Spain this next year. I am worried my language skills have disappeared and I am scared of the awkward moments of living and interacting in a foriegn country. However, the joy that comes with knowing I am completely in God's will is pretty amazing too! I hope you all have moments like this. The torn moments where you feel the attachment that comes with following Christ with Wild abandonment!

Bienvenidos a Todos!

Welcome to all! This is my newly made Spain blog. I am going to try to be more current with this one than the other one I promise. I might even post pictures! I know...CRAZINESS!

As you all know, I am returning to Spain for a second year. Only God could have known this would happen because I was so strongly against living overseas for another year. Being away from family, friends, and the comforts of home seemed too much for me in the beginnng.

The more I surrendered, I saw His plan. He gave me an ability to learn language so quickly for a reason. The longer I am in America, I realize if I don't use this gift I will lose it.

I was trying the other day to translate a Telenovela (spanish soap opera) and I could only hear words. I must say it scared me. Here I spent a year in Spain already, and all I could hear were words!

Needless to say, God knows exactly what He is doing. The more I realize this the more I see that I am His. My life is His. There is no one better to take ownership of my life. I am learning so much about laying down my life. Many times I don't like it, but I know it is the most amazing experience I could possibly have.
