Almost 4 months ago I arrived in Mexico City full of dreams and expectations for my semester abroad, now I am a mere two weeks away from the end of my adventure here. One thing that is evidently clear is that God had a completely different plan in mind for my time here than I did. As many of you have journeyed along side me via my blog I know that you are all aware that my time here in Mexico has been marked by many challenges. In the last few months I have encountered many hardships and struggles that have often left me disillusioned and confused.
That said, I don't want my previous words to overshadow the fact that my experiences here have also been painted with much joy and beauty. Through my travels, my relationships, and my studies I have learned an incredible amount about life and about myself. In many ways I have been blessed by aspects of this culture. It has been a slow process of realization, but little by little I have grasped how valuable this season of my life has been. I am walking with new perspective and new vision; I am changed. Although I am still with some bruises and scars, God has brought me to a place of peace and contentment and I am enjoying my days in Mexico.
Well, I just wanted to share with you my thoughts as of late. Thank you for your care, prayers, and messages. It has been a blessing to share with you my journey.
