My hair is still curly.
My favorite color is still purple.
I look the same (except maybe tanner)
But my heart has been torn in half and sewed back together more beautifully than anything I could imagine.
God has spoken to me. Through friends, and sunsets and sea dives, through His Word, through His presence, through music and laughter and tears. I will never be the same.
I look back to a year ago and I had no idea what was in store for me. Through trials and emotion and pain I have been strengthened. Through the failings of man I have clung closer to God than ever before and He has proven Himself worthy over and over. Through uncertainty I have stood on Him, my solid rock. Through the understanding of His character, attributes and word my eyes have been opened to so much more. Through the caring hearts of others I have known His love to be true.
These past 8 months in Kauai have been life changing. I never imagined I would have the opportunity to live on Kauai in a tent for this long! And I plan on being her at least another 7 months. Definitely not my plan, Definitely God's. His plans are better people. so much better.
