Something God's been teaching me

Psalms 139:7-10

7. Where can I go from you Spirit?
Where can I flee from you Presence?
8.If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9.If i rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10. even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.


Over the past couple of days God has
been teaching me a lot from these
few verses.

I think most of you know that I want to
be a missionary after I finish school.

What some of you may not know is that
I don’t necessarily want to stay in one
country my whole life, but rather after a while
in one place if I feel like God is calling me to
move on to a new place, then I would go

This of course would require me to settle
into one place make it my home and the people
there would become my family. When and if
I feel that God is leading me to go on to a new
place I would have to leave this place and the
people that I have grown to love so dearly.

I’ve done this twice so far in my life with my family
The first one when I was 7 we moved to Florida.
The second one when I was 11, we moved to the Bahamas.
At first I hated moving from one place to the other especially
With the places being far apart. But God has really taught
me to be content with where ever he has me, and I think
this has sort of fueled me desire to be a missionary.
That and the fact that my Dad is very adventurous and
loves going to new places, and I’m very much like him
in that way.

So what God has been teaching me is this.
Even though when I leave one place and move
on to another it might be very hard for me emotionally
to leave this place I love, and all of my earthly friends
He is with me every single minute of the day, no matter
where I go. Sometimes He feels closer than other times,
but just knowing that he will always be right there with me
comforts me and gives me strength.





-A little soemthing about what I wrote yesterday-

Well if you read what I wrote yesterday about being
Blonde I guess you know that sometimes,
when I have nothing else to do I will occasionally
let my imagination run wild and come up with
strange conversations that I could have with myself :P
and what you would get is what I wrote yesterday.
