In the life of Becky

Merry Christmas to all you beautiful souls! And of course a Happy New Year!  Hello! I've had one of the best couple months of my life! I feel like I'm really beginning to let go a lot of past grief and clinging to Christ. I had the opportunity to go to a Backstreet Boys and Gavin Degraw concert which was an absolute amazing night that I needed to feel like a little kid again! I've also been taking on more responsibilities at the mission and got two new roommates! YAY for not loosing sleep for living alone anymore! My dad is on a mission trip in Bolivia and to say he's loving it too much would be an understatement. It's been a long month not having him even just 2 hours away but now 6,000 miles away, however I am so ecstatic that he is living out his calling. I was in a minor car accident for the first time ever and of course was the first night my dad left the country! What an appreciation that gave me for him!!! No worries, everything is all good! OK! On to the n...

Hello beautiful world!  I promise I will be getting better at writing, I feel like I make these promises way to much and then swoop the weight of this world drags me down to slipping out of one routine and into the next. Between so many hospital trips for either a child, adults, co-workers, or myself I surprisingly find myself in such a peaceful state lately, and it even seems like everything else around me is running around at a thousand miles per hour and I just can't keep up, but i'm perfectly content. The last three months have been a whirlwind of not knowing what comes next, ideas from one end, and thoughts on the complete opposite spectrum.One of the hardest things for me is to feel like I see a vision of how I want something to go, or how I view my life going in one direction and then it gets switched. I am a VERY planned person and like to know where my support is coming from. Now that sounded very earthly, and I have to check myself a lot in that perspective of not t...

Isaiah 43:10-11 "Return my sons from distant lands, my daughters from faraway places. I want them back, every last one who bears my name, every man, woman, and child Whom I created for my glory, yes, personally formed and made each one.'" Hello to everyone on this beautiful day! I've actually spent the day in bed because of a stomach bug, not too much fun but it's given me a time to cuddle in a ball and reflect on the past couple weeks. It's been a roller coaster once again, but who would have it any other way?! I have been praying for the last 5 months of where I should move forward to. It's been an absolute turmoil between God and I, because I think God has made it evident that I am to be here in Cleveland even though I desperately sometimes want to pull a Jonah, not listen and return home to my family. But clearly it's been evident that God wants me here. Recently I've been on a new adventure of managing a case of HIV/AIDS and many othe...

Chew on that for a second.  Because that very thought right there, shocked me and motivated me at the same time. Hello all of the beautiful souls reading this! It's been a LONG March but, yes, indeed beautiful! I cannot express the amount of absolutely amazing people I met this past month on all different walks of life. It was truly an encouragement in SO many ways to be able to just open up in life with them. I have to say that other than working with the children and the families here, its adoring to meet people from all of the country that share the same interest in volunteering. I wish I could write every week, someday I will. In this beginning of spring season I've been re-energized but yet searching for a divine direction, but for now I am living one heart beat at a time making no plans and letting my feet be guided to wherever they may land. And in wherever they land, may they be used to their fullest talents. I have seen Gods work in so many ways ju...
