insomnia

Sometimes I have trouble sleeping. Most of the time its because theres a lot on my mind..other times its just because im a light sleeper. But on nights like tonight it pays off because im thinking so much and need an outlet…like writing it down..

Its my last night in Dhaka..last night of outreach.. last night of many nights that have been in a developing nation. And ive just been recapping my experience of this past year..of what I have gone through..of doing 30 deliveries and everything else that goes with that. How I had moments of doubt..then glimpses of courage.. moments of giving up.. then glimpses of hope.. moments of anxiety…then glimpses of peace. I can say that God was behind the scenes on every aspect of life that I saw this past year.. when I wanted to give up he handed me something that He knew would keep me going even if it was for just another day, another hour, another minute.

Even though there were so many moments where I felt alone.. i was never alone.. I guess what im saying is I experienced God in a whole different way this past year and it wasn’t in a ‘quiet time’ way. It was in a real way.. an unscheduled way…every moment..every day..the ugly .. the good.. the mediocre.. the bla..LIFE.

I know that even though right now at this moment I don’t feel like anything radical has changed for me..it will when I find myself in a place where everyone around me isn’t doing the exact same thing as me.. im excited to take the next step. To share with others the crazy year ive had which to me has become normal but know where I come from, not so much.

I head to Australia on a big jet plane in 19 hours.. am there for a week of debriefing and rejoin with the other team which has been in india.

I will be in perth for about 2 weeks to be with friends that I haven’t seen since last September. Then I’m planning to head home for 2 months since I haven’t been home in almost 2 years and would like to see family and friends. I am coming to the end of the blessed year of having all of my finances paid since September. I am putting my need out there just so people are aware in case you do want to give/pray!

I need…
-Finances for my time in Perth- $300
-Finances for flight home- (I have $1000) $800
-Prayers for transition and managing time well while home and in perth
