spring break

I can't believe I applied for alternative spring break in October. Funny how time flies.
And I never believed up until the Saturday morning I was leaving that I would really be going. I was aware that God wanted me to go but as the date approached, I got more annoyed and doubtful. It had been an exhausting two weeks in school. Selfishly, I wanted my break to be relaxing, and I did not want to spend it working with refugee children 9-6 every day.

But now, what can I say? This break has been one of the most life-changing experiences I've ever had. I really don't know what to say about it. As a team of eight, we went down to Atlanta, Georgia, and it was incredible, refreshing, warm, and so much fun.

I was going to explain one particular thing God really hit me with on this trip but I wrote a song about it instead. Edit: I deleted it. It's hard being (and staying) vulnerable in public ^^'.

All in all, spring break was incredible :). Praise God for my team and all of our crazy adventures! Almost too much to reflect on..
