The way it is.

I'm not going to lie. This is not going to be one of those blog posts that is about how great everything is. At the moment there are way too many bugs crawling on my computer screen and me.
I am hot and I am sticky. I don't feel pretty. I don't feel clean even though I just showered. I think my feet are constantly dirty. I can't count how many bug bites I have. I can't count how many peanut butter sandwiches I've eaten.

I miss my family. I miss my friends. I miss my house. I miss my room. I miss my church.

I miss being comfortable.

You may think I am complaining.

But I'm not. Not really. I am telling you these things because despite them all, God is still good.

Despite being uncomfortable, I am happy. I am content because I am where God has placed me.

It's so crazy because I am still waiting.

 I am uncomfortable and waiting.

Neither of those things should make you happy.

But God is good.

This doesn't actually make sense to me.

It might not make sense to you.

But that's the way it is.

God is good.

God has a plan.

I don't see all of it yet.

But I will.

Sure, I have my moments. And there are a lot of them.

The thing is, I know God is faithful. I know His ways are higher than my own.

And even while I am waiting for His direction, I am still being used. 

I can't wait to see what else He's got planned. It's going to be amazing.

Thank you for praying with me. Thank you for waiting with me. Thank you for believing with me.
