Bearing Precious Seed Trip: Intro

I'm here to finally post about my summer trip to work with BPS. Please understand now that words aren't even adequate to describe this trip, but I'm just going to try and give you a glimpse of what God taught me and how He changed me through this trip. By the way tears may or may not have been falling while writing this, because it really is still just so amazing to me.


To begin, take a look at the thoughts I journaled as my trip came to a close:

"Today marks exactly 31 days since I stepped foot on this dessert. Tomorrow I board a plane to leave. I didn't want to come. I didn't want anything to do with this trip at first when we were planning it. And now I stop and I reflect and I think about all I would have missed. How much less I would have known God had I stayed home. Home much growth I would have been deprived of had I done what my flesh wanted. God's hand worked. Again and again it worked. And here I've sat in the dessert and watched it in awe. Tomorrow I board the plane and I go home a different Erin. I have new friends. New adopted family. A fresh focus. A different period of growth. A new longing. A new burden." 

Come with me as I share this journey in a place I've been quite often, but with different eyes. I will be posting about the trip on Thursdays for the next couple of weeks, make sure you come back and check it out!
