Some Final Thoughts...About the Jungle

In the craziness, laughter, and challenges physically, there were moments where I had to pause was reminded first that I was actually trekking through the Sumatran Jungle, and second, that the God who created the breath-taking views that surrounded me is the same God who has me in the palm of my hand, and knows not only what these next few months hold, but also has planned what I will be doing next semester. One can do a lot of thinking while they are drenched in sweat, dehydrated and physically spent. Since I found out I was coming to Indonesia about a year ago, I viewed January as a huge drop off. I knew I was coming here, and that was great, but I had no idea what my future would hold. Now, January is still an unknown, but God is faithful and I can see that he is slowly filling in that gap. As I continue to pray for guidance in what exactly I should do next semester, I have to pause once again and bask in the peace that passes all understanding and praise Him that he is not a God of worry and chaos, but he rather the blessed controller of all things.
