La Buena Vida

John Wooden once said to surround yourself with people strong enough to change your mind. I've done a pretty good job of surrounding myself with good people who love me even when I'm stubborn. I'm making some big life changes with the support of my friends and family who understand who I am and where my passions lie. 

Recently God has opened my eyes and reminded me of His control over my life. I'm leaving in two months on a one-way ticket for the south pacific, but I'm really excited to head back into central and south America. Latin America has a culture I can't seem to fall out of love with and it seems to keep reappearing in my thoughts when I think of long term plans. I trust God and constantly refer back to my favorite bible verse, Proverbs 3:5-6. I have to remember I'm not in charge. My heart is wide open at this point and I'm listening. I don't know why, but all I hear is Mexico? Vamos a ver lo que va a pasar.

Here are some snapshots of the last month and the amazing people who surround me while I soak up the last few months at home. This is indeed la buena vida.

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will lead your paths straight."
