Packing up my belongings for six months has already proved to be a struggle, as items that go in are taken out, only to be placed back in my suitcase again due to my indecisiveness. I am starting this blog to share with everyone my journey, stories, struggles, and all that God is doing through my study abroad journey to Cape Town, South Africa.
I was so blessed with peace and excitement for the unknown as I said goodbye to my beautiful friends on Hope College's Campus and here at home. As I am preparing my heart for this amazing and incredible journey I am reminded of a quote from one of my favorite books "Hinds Feet on High Places".
The quote reads "Oh, what a life of wonderful joy, adventure, and ever-deepening love the Good Shepherd leads us all to! As we follow him along the path of life, let us leave him to choose every step of the way, as we live in his radiant presence and are ever led to still higher places"
I hope my heart continues to be captured by the amazing beauty, grace, and love that is God's being. I hope I am led to the higher places. That my heart is shaped and formed to look more and more like Jesus. I hope I am broken constantly for the hurting people of this world. I hope I am constantly being filled with God's love and in that way, can pour out His love to all I encounter. I also hope that this blog serves as a way to keep all of my beautiful friends and family filled in on my life and journey in South Africa.
I love you all
-Mia
