animals (they scare me) haha BUT I do think elephants are pretty cute : )
Phrase I want to learn in Tonga: "How can I help
you?" or "Jesus loves you" in Tonga!
Phrase or Bible verse that has been encouraging this last
month: 2 Timothy 1:9 "He has saved us and called us to a holy life-- not
because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and
grace."
This verse has been a great reminder to me that there
is nothing I have done, can do, or will do that can take God's love from my
life. My faith has nothing to do with my actions, but instead all to do with
God's loving grace and mercy. Being able to go abroad to Zambia this
semester has nothing to do with me, and has all to do with God. God's plans
sometimes does not look like our own, but His purpose for our lives is always
much greater than anything we could even fathom by ourselves. I remember that
lesson each time I read this verse, and I pray I will trust and follow God
where ever He may take me.
