It is already the middle of August everyone! that means I've been in Kansas City for one month. This has been a very busy program, we have classes every day and our day usually ends at about 9 PM (See My Valuable Time post). The Lord has been really moving upon my heart, even in my weakness I believe he is there. He has been speaking to me about myself. A lot of times people talk about "self-discovery" and they take extended trips to buddhist temples, to masques in muslim countries, or they simply take drugs. I was speaking to the Lord and told him that I don't want to walk a path of self discovery. I just want to walk on the path of truth. Alanna doesn't belong to herself. The life she livesshe now lives in Jesus Christ. I pray that I would awaken to that truth more and more. It's never by might nor by power. I can't be interesting enough, I could never have enough influence or strength to change myself, and I can't change any region, person, country with these either. All things are His and everything is in existence for His pleasure. He is the only one who can do any kind of change. But to him it's not really change at all. It's restoration. He gets to restore the broken things and all the stuff that looks lost. He gives beauty for ashes. And I get to partner with Him. I get to be his friend and watch Him do justice, watch him display his beauty. It's awesome.
And I finally have photos to share!
These were taken by a guy in my group named Peter Telian :) I love his camera!
This is some of the students from ACTS, were having an awesome time in worship in this photo.
Me and my Korean friend Victoria having a devotional afternoon. She can really pray!
Kansas City lightning, it lights up the sky. And it is SO LOUD! One evening all the girls woke up because of the loud sounds.
Helping my friend Kate from New Zealand order a smoothie, she seems to be having a hard time deciding.
