Celebrate

The car is packed - somehow fuller than when I traveled here in September. I've earned a free coffee at the local coffee shop which I intend to redeem to kick off the journey. I have one last patient to see, a few more goodbyes to say, then I'm off again. This place has taken me on a journey I never expected. I am grateful to have learned new skills and gained insight from this experience. I am blessed to have developed life long friendships with people who I can call family here. I am honored to have seen tangible ways that God has worked through me here. Who am I that He would choose to use me?! It is awesome and humbling to be used by God.

As we embark on this Christmas holiday weekend, I am mindful of the great privilege it is to be a child of God. The privilege that He, our Creator, chose to send His son for us. Indeed there is much reason for celebration this weekend and everyday. God loves us so much that he made Himself accessible to us. He wants you to be a part of His work, His perfect plan. He wants to use you, will you make yourself available?
