I don't know what my heading means it just looks really cool.
This First Month being on the Journey was complete Transformation of who I am. Romans 12: 2 says it so well - "...but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." Firstly I prayed to God to get Him to see things my way and to join the plan I have envisioned.... BOOM, doesn't work that way. His ways are higher!!! And to look back now my human plans are not even Glorifying Him. I'm in Awe. He took away all the dirt, if the dust of the dessert were to cover my mirror he gently clean it so I can reflect Him.
I feel inlove with the Middle East, I saw the results of Hatred, the results of Love, the results of self Love, and the beautiful results of Obedience. How can I love so easily? The houses and building are like Lego with sandstone. The area we lived in is a combination of living in a movie scene and traveling back in time. On every wall you will find Arabic writing that turn all names into artworks. I stared at small kids playing alone in the streets, questioning real freedom. I saw how some families belongings can be counted in one room and also came to the realization that in a way everything I have owns me. The world is so big, I lived in a matchbox for too long.
The human heart. What a perfect design. We had the privilege these past weeks to see human hearts, the hearts of nations . Every family have a sad story to tell, warm tea to give and inviting eyes. I enjoyed doing sewing with the woman, universal language that fashion speaks. The language barrier was the best experience, sometimes you give a whole long deep sentence to the translator and he would say one Arabic word, there was a constant exitement and joy in a conversation just for understanding one word every 5 minutes. The one day I went to the market trying to explain to them that I want Oats-(we scanned the place but couldn't find it because the container differ from back home) so the lady gave me a pen and said I must draw what I want...Mmm how I am I supposed to draw oats?? After I draw these 3 random pieces she was laughing at my drawing that probably looked like a surege line. After acting a story we eventually got it.
Never been so exited to find Oats...or is Arabic - alshshufan

The great Unknown. God is in every little detail of our lives. Everything around me proofs God's existence. The more colourful my Bible gets with highlighter lines, the more colourful my life gets. I'm too grateful for words. The most describing words are useless to what God is. Useless. He whispers in my ear and His creation sing harmonies.
