we're back!! prompt 33

Going on the mission trip to Nicaragua was a lot of fun and also a lot of work at the same time. In the weeks before we went on mission trip i wasn't really sure that i wanted to go, because i didn't feel like i was capable of preaching nine sermons. When we got there though and i started preaching i realized that i didn't matter that i thought i wasn't good enough because God can use me anyway. I learned a lot of new things on this mission trip and i also struggled with a lot of things while i was on the trip. But one of the things that i learned was that as we go on through our lives, we are going to meet people that we don't necessarily like or get along with, and if we choose to dwell on the dislike that we have for these people God can't bless us. So what i learned is that even though it is hard we have to give these things over to God because He will help us with them and if we don't give our problems to God, it is going to be harder for Him to use us for his work!

Hey Dahlia! I know, who reads blogs over home-leave....me. Lol. Anyway, umm, I hope I'm not one of the people you didn't like or get along with...? I had a good time with you in Nicaragua! Well, see you later! :)
