The Story of Emmy

What do you do when your heart is on the other side of the world?

Take a deep breath, open your Bible and be reminded that our home and our eternity is in Heaven. [Also, a chai tea helps sometimes too!]

 

This past month has been a roller coaster of one second being excited over seeing people I love dearly for the first time in a year and the next second remembering all those beautiful orphans and the wonderful church that I left in Vietnam. So much joy in being home but so much heartache over the realization that where I am now is home for this season.

 

I'm so blessed that the Lord sends people along our way to encourage us and speak truth into our lives in those dark moments when the enemy tries to feed off our poor attitude. I am surrounded by such amazing friends and family here. I am blown away by the grace the Lord gives my mother on a daily basis to speak such love over my life.

 

I'm so touched the Lord chose me to go and for Him to entrust me with a call to all the nations and all people. I know that these difficult emotions I'm facing now will only get harder as time goes on but I continue to lean into Him who first carried my sin and pain. As I learn to yield more and more to Him everyday, I'm learning more about who He is and who He has called me to be.
