The Body of Christ

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
1 Peter 3:8

God has been teaching me to work with a team.  I've totally had to give up all independence since I've been here.  I've learned how awesome it is to not have to rely on myself for everything and to be able to trust my team.  This has been an important lesson for me because through it, I've learned how the body of Christ works.

We're not made to do everything by ourselves but to put trust in our brothers and sisters in Christ.  We need each other to be able to change the world and work for Christ.  There's not one person in the world who can do it by themself.  We also need each other for encouragement.  My team has been such a huge encouragement to me throughtout this whole trip.

God has also started to open my eyes to how truly awesome He is.  Although I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully grasp how awesome God is, I see Him in His creation.  Just looking at the mountains here helps me experience God.  When I look at the mountains, it shows me how big God is and how small I am.

I am so thankful that God continues to teach me new things everyday!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurable more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!  Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
