Recently I've been reflecting
on 2020 and here's the tea. For almost 11 months of this past year, I have had
the opportunity to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ as a missionary and serve
His children. I've learned to not just wait for the rain to go away, but dance
in it, literally, and to know that a rainbow will always follow the storm.
I've learned to take control of what's in my hands and leave the rest to God.
I've learned to let go of expectations and adapt when things don't go my
way. It's probably been one of the best years of my life and even though
it has been ~difficult~ to say the least, I have absolutely no intent of just
moving on and trying to forget it or complain about everything that went wrong.
In reality, none of it actually went wrong. It just didn't go the way we
expected it to (but when does life ever??) It went exactly according to God's
plan and we might not be able to see the evidence of that right now. But hey,
that's why faith is pretty cool! We can trust that an all-knowing God has it
all figured out and won't let us fall. I won't deny that it has been HARD,
challenging, and lonely at times, but I promise if you look for the blessings,
you will find them. Okay I'm done, I'll get off my soapbox.
On New Year's Eve we had a little mission party over zoom! We played kahoot and made some New Year's resolutions. This year I want to appreciate every second of life, love more, and focus on what matters most. We rang in the year 2017 at 10pm then went to sleep right after and THAT is the way to do New Years.
If you made it this far, send me your goals for 2021 :)
Love, Hermana Dangl
