Is it time to go yet? ;)

Its cold.
So, I sit here cuddled up on the couch. It's been awhile since I have updated. Only because this blog is mainly for people to see whats happening in my life while I'm in Africa. But, I'm not in africa, I'm in South Dakota. Some people question why I'm not there now.
Now is my explanation time :)
Sometimes in life, we get too focused on what God has for us to do in the future that we don't live in the present. Even though, our soul, it aches, yes.. for the place that we love and adore.. that we just cant remain content in where we are at.
I.. however as some of you know ;) can not stay in one spot for too long. I found out recently from my mom, that its just how I've always been. I always want to keep moving.. I couldn't sit and cuddle in her lap for long.. that I just wanted to keep jumping off and go climbing on things. Typical, I tell you.
Well, as much as I would love love love to go climbing on things, to go on an adventure, to live my life how I want.. I cannot and will not. :) <- yes, I smile when I say that.
Because if this is where we are suppose to be, we are to remain content in that area. Deal with it. That, is just how God works. Especially, when we start to feel a bit uncomfortable, thats when God challenges us.
I would honestly love to be back in Kenya.. my plan is to go back by the year '11 but I can only do what He wants for my life because I know... really really know.. that that is the only thing that going to bring pure joy to my heart and to Him. Even though I want to run off :D
So, my challenge to you my friends.. are you filling your time with good things? People that will continue to build you up and not tear you down? Are you living in an environment that will help you? :) If not, weed out those things. You don't need them.
I love you all, thank you for reading.
