Whoa! 4 Weeks!

Above is a picture of tone of the socials - the Low Country Boil. So much fun!! 
 
It's crazy to think that I'm 4 weeks into Project! It feels so long ago that I got here but at the same time it feels like it was yesterday that I got here. This week is pretty packed full because it's relationships week. Relationships week means we talk about guy/girl relationships, friendships, marriage and how all of this is supposed to reflect Christ and both girls and guys are to point each other toward Christ. It's been super sweet to delve into how much Christ loves His bride the church! So much so He gave Himself up for her! For me! It's also been good to be reminded that I am not made for this, that I will never find "the one" because Christ is that One. He is the ultimate satisfaction, the ultimate bridegroom. Being reminded of that made me long for heaven! 

Perhaps one of the sweetest times this week was during our Bible Study Training time on Friday morning. A video was showed of Papua New Guinea and the Kimyal people receiving the written word of God for the first time. The people were crying and thanking God for bringing them such a gift. It made me realize how blessed I am that I have the written word of God, on my phone, in multiple versions, access to it virtually anywhere. I am so incredibly blessed! It also lit a fire in me to go and share this amazing gift with others. I don't know how and I don't know where, but God does and wherever He wishes, I will go where He sends me. 

One sweet thing to look forward to is I get fly home for the weekend next week for a friends wedding. So excited for this sweet friend! I'm also excited for the time in the planes and airports to be able to process everything that has been happening these last 4 weeks and figure out what God has really been doing in my life. To be able to step back from project and reflect halfway through is such a gift! So thankful! 

Thank you for all your sweet prayers and encouragement. God is doing big things!
