It's okay to struggle and hurt.

I feel like there are some people out there who need to hear this. Stop allowing yourself to become numb to everything. It’s okay to feel. Cry if you need to. Just…let go. God’s got you…He always does.
Never be ashamed.
Too good to not share. :)
”For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him” -Psalm 103:11 I challenge you, to every time you go outside, look as high as you can into the sky and know that the Lord’s love for YOU is infinitely greater than your eyes can see up and all around. Let His hope, joy, and love fill you.

The sun is shining!!!
After a solid week of rainy days every single day, the sun is finally shining and this campus just got 100% more beautiful than it already was. I’m done by 9:00 this morning, so today shall consist of exploring, looking for zebras, finding a bench and spending time with Jesus, journaling, and being outside almost all day.
Sounds BEAUTIFUL to me. :))
littlemissmelanie asked: I miss you a lot.
Just letting you know.

I've learned. . .
that South Africans don’t believe in kleenex. That’s really annoying, considering the fact that I have a cold, my nose is running like a faucet, and the toilet paper is tearing up my nose.
TMI? Maybe. But overall, truth.

So today...
I went on a hike behind my campus here in Africa and we went around a corner and there was literally four zebra staring at us. This is unreal.

The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it.
today.
We were driving down the road and the bus had to stop to let monkeys cross the road. I am officially in Africa and loving every single second of it.
