Earlier this week we were asked to create a video based on the book of Job, we had 1 day to do it and only 10mins long. Here's what my group did :)
This blog started as "my life in missions" but has become what inspires me, my thoughts through lifes ups and downs, & what is God teaching me.

Hearing the beauty around us.
During the first quarter of this school, I've been blessed to work in the fields with the shepherdess on base, I'm not going to lie, its been super hard and most of the time I can't even image I'm working with sheep... I dislike animal, especially the farm kind.
But I'm not writing about sheep, rather the lady whom I work with, she was born deaf in both her ears, not too long ago she was able to have some sort of surgery and had hearing out of one ear only. As of yesterday, she was able to hear out of BOTH years.
I wish everyone could have seen her reaction to being able to hear for the first time!
She has truly blessed my heart and has brought me back to a place of remembering how privileged i am to be able to hear.
Earlier in class we were challenged to find God in nature, i went over to a sidewalk and sat half way up, trying to find something. But i remembered Thema's amazement with sound, and not too long after i began to realize how many birds there were around me, i didn't see them all but i could hear them. It soon became a game between God and I to try guess where the birds were, and how many different kinds their were, and try to guess how close or far they were away from me.
I began to wonder, if it takes me being purposeful in hearing what is around me daily, how much do I miss what God is trying to say to me on a daily bases? This was just one exercise to learn how to find God in the small things, but it has really challenged me and made me curious how much I miss him speak to me day-to-day.
Seeing Thema's reaction of being able to hear out of two ears for the first time was so powerful to me! Seeing the wonder on her face when she could hear different sounds really showed me how God created us to hear, not only so we can have communication with other but to bless us in hearing the beauty in what God has created.
