The Overseas Conundrum

I don`t know that I can even begin to communicate the change that is happening.

I am learning so much about God and how real and gracious He really is (hopefully more to come on that soon when I have a bit more time to write).

 More than anything I`ve realized that I don`t really have a handle on who I am anymore.  Being overseas reveals so much about our true character.  The questions I`m asking are: where is my identity? in whom do I find my identity? who am I really? what do I love to do? what brings me life? how has God gifted me and how does He want to use those giftings?  The scariest thing I have realized is that I have been actually creating my identity instead of asking the Creator of the universe, the Creator of my soul, who He has created me to be.

So now begins the journey of asking God to reveal who He says I am and to walk in unknown, uncharted waters.

Pray for me.

Grace and peace,
Shayla M.

  1. I am having the same conundrum, just in a sea of sagebrush. I'll pray for both of us! Good luck my friend!
