Christmas

Today as I was spending time with my family, this all became real. I have one more day left in my hometown, Roswell, NM, and then I'll be in Las Cruces until I board the Greyhound to San Diego in just a couple of weeks. I'm so thrilled to have this opportunity. I'm so excited to be following the call I feel God has placed on my heart. Underlying that is a fear. I fear the unknown. I think that most people do, and I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of. I no longer have any concept of where my life is going or what God is planning to use me for. And really, while I'm scared of having nothing and starting over and going to places that are totally foreign to me, while I'm scared of being away from the only home I know, this is really what it's all about. Life is about letting go of the material things. It's truly about trusting God. This is just the beginning for me, I know it. I'm going to struggle with trust so much. Fortunately, God has blessed me with friendships that I can't begin to understand and family that loves me and supports me in everything I do. I am blessed. This Christmas, I truly see how rich I am. Thank you, Jesus.

Merry Christmas.
