Lindsey – Western Europe

Andrew Murray is quoted as saying "We have a God who delights in impossibilities." That couldn't be truer of my life. From early on in my life I have seen God take the impossible and turn it into His glorification and honor. I sit surrounded by some of the most Godly men and women who have been gracious enough to never let me settle for my own personal expectations and what world has for me. If I had settled I would be sitting in a graduate school classroom drowning in my art studies instead I chose the narrow road and what God has in store for me is more than I could have imagined. It has been hard, rough and at times painful, but it is faith, faith that God knows the unknown and in complete control.

It was never an issue as to whether or not I was going it was just an issue of when. Before my senior year in college I loss a really close childhood friend and from that moment on a sense of urgency fell upon my life. I didn't want to end up later in life wishing I did something now, when I know I can. It has been a process of truly laying down my agenda for His ultimate plan. Right now it is hard imagine life in Belgium much different than my life in the US. The only big worry that seems to baffles me is the cold winters. I am a Texas girl and my idea of cold is in the 50s and idea of it beginning below freezing is something hard for me to grasp. Snow, what is that?
