I'm back!!!
Consistency and discipline!! Two things I very much lack and wish I had!!!! As you may have noticed I stopped posting from Italy about half way through my trip! Yeah I journaled plenty of things just never shared them with you!!... ( I will post some more pictures!) BUT ANYHOW.... part of my new years resolution is to be a consistent and disciplined person! Yes that means writing here too!!! I am having a goal of a post a week! nothing too terribly hard but something that I will have to do!! SO WISH ME LUCK!!
Just when you thought you were completely alone...
old post from italy!
So one of the hardest things on this trip is that I could not find a church. At first I did not know where there was a Evangelical Church or if there even was, then I was like...oh I'll be fine...I have podcasts and I'm reading my Bible(sometimes...not enough at the time! Dad yes you were right I didn't have a good set goal and nothing was getting done) I knew I wanted to read Isaiah and Jeremiah BUT REALLY!! that is not enough... an entire summer...I need a challenge...not something that I can put off because I have time!! So after getting lost, putting it off, not looking that hard...and worrying too much about explaining to my friends that I was skipping beach trips to go to church...I was already being made fun of for certain things I said and thought! You would think after living in Onyx for the past 3 years I would understand very clearly the importance of Christian fellowship! I have just got comfortable and taken advantage of other Christians always being there! ANYWAY...sometimes I am fascinated how stupid I can be...you'd think I would know better... I do know better I'm just stupid sometimes!
SO with the help of my wonderful father...I found an Assemblies of God Church. It is so cute!!! It's in a strip-mall type thing. And for the past 2 Sundays there have been about 40-50 people... including kids.Very small, very crowded, a very intimate church! It was really great. Different but really great!
Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
