Desert

So, I realized today, my time is ending here soon...30 days til this adventures of Camfel is over. Ya know, I was thinking, I would've of seen all that I have seen, all I have done, and all the struggles and lessons I learned if God did not provide me this job and take me through this journey. Its crazy how fast this whole year went. I remember training, and getting ready to go, and meeting people. Ya know guys, what we go through, really does make us stronger. We are going to make mistakes, but we learn from them, so no use in beating yourself up. Ha! I learned that one for sure. And when life is hard, and you feel claustraphobic, you feel you want to get out, you wanna quit, don't! I had so many friends, and I thank God for them, that kept encouraging me to keep going with this. I'm not going to lie, traveling all that can be fun, but it also is so hard. However, I needed to go through this. I needed to learn the things I've learned. I needed to be taught the lessons I were taught. You guys, God gave us so much potential in this life, and the key to reaching that potential is trusting Him. We can't do it alone! I have no idea how I lasted this long on this job because, I know this 2nd semester, I wanted to quit so bad, but the support I got from friends, family, and co-workers, God used them to provide support. But most importantly, He spoke to me very clearly! He got me in the desert, where there was no distractions and spoke to me. I needed to be in the desert time, because I cared way to much of what people thought of me and let their input affect my life way too much where God wasn't the number one person in that area. I just want to encourage you, if you are in or about to be in the "desert time" of life, don't be afraid, don't quit. God will give you the perseverance and the absolute strength to get through it and I can testify to this! He has to put us in those times in our life to get our attention, and if we cooperate and are obedient, we will learn SO much. God sees us in a way we could never see ourselves and we have so much potential because of Him. God wants good in our life, but in order to bring good, there will be struggles, there will be trials and storms, but the sun will shine folks! It will! There is a light after every tunnel! Trust Him, He loves you!
