Some thoughts while I have time

Well I'm serving God but it doesn't seem like I am doing much. I meet people here and there, but they aren't really interested in hearing anything that we have to say. We hand out stuff so maybe someone will watch it or read it, I hope they do. I'm halfway done and it still feels like I've just started. I'm halfway across the world with people I bearly know, but if I were home I'd be surrounded by people I know, yet wouldn't have time for. It's interesting how being further separated from the things that I held onto so dearly begin to fade. It talks about seasons and how life changes so quickly and so often depending on where we are and what we are doing...I've realized that in the past year. The friends I had in high school are really just a glimpse of the past now, but I'm excited about my new friends. The friends that I'm excited to get emails from...the ones I'm excited to see when I get back...but even then part of me will still be here. In 6 weeks I've met some amazing people here. People whose hearts' are for the lord...It's amazing. I love spending one on one time with the girls who have so much to offer and they don't realize what they are giving me...I ask them questions prodding into their lives learning why and how they got here and what God has on their hearts...its fun. I had lunch with one yesterday and we hung out for a few hours alone on wednesday..it was great. Then when the group met up with us it started to rain..only it was more like a mist and it continued the rest of the night. We went down to the latin quarter and there was some great music and a lot of people. I spent almost an hour in mcdonalds trying to buy a coke in order to go to the bathroom... as the french say...oh la la. My pants were already a little wet so I started puddle jumping as we were strolling for the Effiel tower.. its quite beautiful when it sparkles.. The friends I am with here are so full of life..not that the others aren't but it's a different kind of life...we all have the same passion, our hearts beat with the same rhythm..its a new thing for me. It's going to be hard to leave..but a relief to be home...I'm not sure.
