It has been so long since my last post. I am going to try and write again…it does help me to process things and definitely has the potential for me to learn more discipline. I am getting ready to head back to Nepal on the 14th of February and I am excited. But I am just as excited to be in the States right now doing what I am doing.
One of the things that I have learning is to be engaged in the present. This has always been a challenge for me. I tend to be nostalgic about the past or dream about what the future may hold, but miss the present moment. I have been looking at my moments as one chance to impact the world around me. It is the one chance for me to enjoy that moment and the person I am with. It is an opportunity for me to reach out to people and love them. This has been so freeing for me and I feel so much more content.
This past season of being in the States has been so good for me. I was able to take classes at a seminary here and learn more about the Bible. A love for learning has been ignited through my studies and I am excited to continue to learn about the world around me.
My life is full. I celebrated my 32nd birthday this past week and I spent time reflecting on the amazing relationships that I have in my life. I have a great family, three nephews and a niece that are so much fun, amazing friends who love me and sacrifice for me, and a family waiting for me to come back to Nepal. God has used this year to change my perspective in so many ways and I feel like my life is only beginning. The best is yet to come!
Kara! it’s great to hear your thoughts again, I’m glad I stopped by and may your time in Nepal be full of beauty, gratitude and love!
