Well, this is it! It's our last week on campus and it feels like it came out of nowhere. The time flew by. We've been praying that we give it all we've got on campus and to not feel like time is up already. Today we talked about making the most of every opportunity and not letting the last few days slow us down.
I've been praying to let myself fall in love with Costa Rica. I want to leave here feeling like I gave my whole heart and didn't hold back. One of the biggest things I realized is how I can be so focused on my own goals and my own plans that if anything deviates from the way I think things should go, I can think that what I'm doing is pointless. I lose gratitude for the experiences and memories God has given me and I get frustrated wondering why things aren't going my way. Having incredible memories stops being enough if they don't serve the purpose of reaching my own goals.
I'm so grateful that I've been able to see all of this before I leave so I can choose to make the most of my last week and let myself make incredible memories, give my all, love the people and serve God.
God has been moving and there are a few solid bible studies happening. It would be amazing to see some students choose to make Jesus the Lord of their life before we go. Please pray that this last week on campus is powerful and that God moves in the lives of everyone who is getting closer to making decisions for Him.
Love you guys! Thanks for all your comments, they really are encouraging.
