Great!! Now that I have your attention I`ll continue on with the blog :)
So it feels like just yesterday I hopped off that plane and immediately said to myself "What the heck did I get myself into?!" Since then so much has happened. I came here basically a stranger and I leave here with an even bigger family.
8 days.... 8 days and then I head back home to Canada. I'm excited to see all my friends and family that I haven't seen in a while but there is a part of me that really doesn't want to go home. There is a part of me that feels that the work here isn't done. I honestly feel that there is a calling for me to come back here. That might seem a little crazy and stupid cause I'm sure there are a few thousand people here in the Philippines that would love to move to Canada and here I am wanting to do the opposite. Someone told me that if I were to come back to the Philippines as a missionary, it would probably be one of the stupidest moves I could have ever made in my life. Well all that comes to mind is stupid is as stupid does.
A friend of mine told me that you have to be a little stupid and even crazy for wanting to be a missionary. You are going into a place where people would love to get out of. For some that`s crazy.... Not for me.... It kinda seems like the life I would like to live.
Who knows what the Big Guy has in store for me but I do feel that here is where He wants me to be. In the almost 3 months i`ve been here, I`ve learned that life really is a box of chocolates.... You never know what you`re gonna get and you never will if you don`t take that chance and open the box.
Stay Classy
