I really want to know what life would be like if God hadn't put me in the place where I am at now? Who would I be today? I am who I am today. We take things for granted. We want for wanting more than what we need for needing more. I didn't want to move away, but in God's goodness, grace and mercy, he had us move in need. See....I had it in the sentence, I want this but do I really need it? Do I need the place before, did God really need me back there, or does he want me where I am now? I didn't want to move away from my friends, my home, and the wonderful desert. I may love it so much but I need to trust in God.
I have found a comfort and trust in the Lord in having me move and know I can always visit Arizona.
Where I am now, I have found so much hope, and a need to be here where I am at now!
Now, Living in LA for a year has truly felt like a mission trip. Helping the Homeless has made me feel great inside. On a daily basis, whenever we are out and see a homeless person on our way to church, or wherever we are, or when ever we bump into a homeless person we hand out granola bars to them. Some aren't happy and some are grateful. It is awesome getting to pray for them. It is so amazing and very uplifting for to seeing their smiling faces when we give them granola bars. I love helping out. I pray for them all the time. We tell them that we pray for them, and they thank us or tell us to do that. Some say, God Bless. Some turn the other cheek, and say no, growl, and stare, and they are sometimes very vicious and unhappy. I almost gave a homeless person a Bible one time, I will never forget it. It has been quite a unique experience.
I have found friends who are so kind. They are so encouraging. The Lord has blessed me with such loving friends in the neighborhood. We have two bunnies, a fish and a water frog. I have volunteered at a Crisis Pregnancy Clinic. A good friend of mine insisted my sisters and I to join Karate. Along with that we took a women's defense class,
and a CPR class. Kirsten is such a blessing. We had a fun week end in San Juan Capistrano. We help friend'(s) friends in need. Living here in California is a true journey. I am doing Algebra 2 Math, and an Anatomy Science and Physiology class. Moving away doesn't stop me from being who I already was, I am still me, but in a new place where the Lord has brought me. I am who I am today because of God!
