Our Thing

I have returned from a global serving trip to South Africa. So much happened in the two weeks span and I regret not bringing my Ipad to update on my blog. There is so much to say so I'd love to just share my first journal entry in South Africa with you.

Father,
I am amazed by you. How you love me, despite my flaws and inadequacies; you love me. Being here reminds me of your love for me and how your heart longs to draw close to mine. Here I am reminded of who you are and who I am. This place, this act of love, this is our thing! You whisper to me through the smiles of the children. You sing to me through the rain and the mountains. I see you in their faces, in their struggles, and in their brokenness. I see you in their joy, in our differences, and in our likeness. Here I am one with you. I can feel your heart beating. I am alive. I am one with them-through the love you bore for us.

I cannot wait for what you have in store for us and for them!

With my heart open,
Jovy

They have forever changed my life. 

All of their stories, I will carry them with me and tell the world.
