Thank you Lord for 2010

2010 has been a year of substantial growth for me, filled with opportunities and demonstrations of God's incredible love.  

Some highlights of 2010...
- Mission trip to Mexico
- SOUTH AFRICA
- Turning 21
- Making new beautiful friends at home and in SA
- Becoming more independent
- Element church retreat early January
- Learning things about myself, like how much alone time I need
- Beginning to see God in all situations and finding joy there
- Realizing how blessed I am to have such a loving, encouraging, goofy family.  I love them so so much.
- Being EXCITED to become a science teacher! (summer school astronomy: surprisingly enjoyable)
- Learning the importance of encouraging others
- Smiling at the person that I am becoming

I love my cousins!

Thank you so much, Lord for an amazing year!  This coming year I will graduate from college (so weird!) and will begin a whole new journey.  I know that it will be filled with as much growth as 2010 was.  Bring on 2011!


Being home has been wonderful and challenging.  Reverse culture shock has definitely hit me but God is getting me through it as I learn patience in many circumstances.  I have to rely on him for strength every day as I face new hurdles with being back in the United States.  I miss so much about South Africa but I appreciate so many things and people in my life much more now that I am back in the U.S.  I love my country and my family and friends and wouldn't trade them for the world!


So here's to a great year of adventure and growth.  May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Love,

Britt
