Mexico

If there is one thing I have learned in the past several years of my life it is that His plans are way better than mine.

 I never really believed people when they said things about how God took their plans and changed them into something better...but ITS TRUE. 

God really does take our plans and desires and changes and molds them into something better, at least that is what he's done with mine. 

I want to tell you about just one of the instances in the past year that this has been true.

End of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 I decided on a plan for the fall of 2013. I was going to go to Word of Life Argentina. It seemed like an awesome opportunity, didn't cost that much and I would come back after a year being fluent in Spanish. But...that obviously is not where I am. And you know what? I'm glad. I ended up coming to New York and this year has been amazing. God has taught me so much while being here at 2nd year and I definitely needed to be here. 

This year is almost over and from here...i have to go somewhere. I've been thinking and praying alot the past couple months and there have been several options I have been seriously looking at. A couple weeks ago I started looking into a cross cultural internship with Word of Life and last week I got the exciting news....I'M GOING TO MEXICO. For two years. I will have the opportunity to serve in Mexico...and do you know what happens when you live in a foreign country for two years? You learn their language. I'm so excited to continue to see where God takes me. I know He will continue to tweak and change "my" plans, but I know that no matter what...His plans will always be better. 

The heart of man plans his way,
    but the Lord establishes his steps.

Proverbs 16:9
