Wow! I have been back in the states for a week now and Im still kind of trying to adjust. Jet lag is basically over, the only permanent damage it has done to me is get me up around 6 or 7 every morning which isnt really a problem at all. haha.
Saturday my friend Melanie picked me up from the Lubbock airport around 10pm. Kassidy surprised me when we got to the car. I wasnt expecting her to be there. It was a very nice surprise. Except they were both on a massive sugar high and I was about to pass out from jet lag and sleep deprivation! haha. We stayed up for a few more hours talking and telling stories.
The next morning Kass and I headed back to good ole DC for church. It was so good to see everyone. A particular someone decided to announce very loudly to everyone who walked in that I was back......I dont know who can get a hold of that woman but MEGHAN AZAM needs to be tamed a little haha. I spent the day with the fam and headed back to Lubbock the next day with Gammy and Dad. I've been here in the LBK partaking in meals with some wonderful people catching up and staying busy. Its been a very encouraging week. Talking about what Father is doing in all of our lives is one of my favorite things to do and I did alot of that this week! Learning what Father has been doing here in the states and in other parts of the world has been so wonderful! It humbles you so much to remember that Father is at work everywhere. We only see our little bitty life and our little bitty experience and it is SO cool to see that our God is HUGE and he is at work everywhere all at the same time!
My last few days in Africa came to an end so quickly it was hard to process through everything that Father taught me! I think after being back home and getting many great questions about what I learned has helped me process through things better. I would definitely say that the one thing that I walked away learning about the most was desperation for Father. Father brought me to a place where the only form of encouragement was my word and my time with Him. He really taught me first hand that all I need is HIM and He has already given me everything I need. My time in Africa was far from easy and I was pushed to my limit many times, but Father was faithful to refuel me and encourage me.
Then afer I went through this time of desperation for him, He then taught me that he is refueling me and encouraging me all for His glory! Father taught me a lot about how He is working towards His glory among the nations and everything He does is pushing that along, and Him encouraging me and refueling me in Africa was in some form or fashion pushing His mission of His name being made FAMOUS towards reaching its goal.
I am just a girl in this giant world who loves my Savior. THATS ALL. I realize the love He has for me and I realize that His love for me is stemed from Him receiving all the glory. He called us (all of us) to make disciples of ALL NATIONS. The one thing he commanded us to do while on this earth was to make disciples and follow him. THATS ALL. It is so simple but not so easy. Be encouraged by the simplicity of his mandate for us.
I was humbled to be apart of the work Father is doing in Africa this summer. Thank you all for all the prayer and support you gave me! I truely appreciate every single prayer and thought!
