So school has been going great! It is amazing that me...Jennah Liston, loves going to school! It works out really well because I can do alot of my work for Community Partners in class because I go through the lessons extremely fast. It also gives me alot of time to tap into my creative self and look at blogs of other creative inspirations. I get so excited and inspired looking at all these blogs, pictures, design, graphics that I get way overwhelmed. It is really frustrating. I know I have the talent and inspiration to do alot, but when I get started on a project my ADD kicks in double time. There is so much I want to do with my life, my time, my day...and I feel like I have spent way to much time wasting it away.
My cousin is going into her 2nd week in Gana, and I am so proud of her. She is teaching in orphans in a remote village there and will be in Gana for 10 months. There is no electricity, no running water, and very limited communication with any friends and family. It takes a VERY special person to be able to give up that much of their life to serve to a higher calling. I think that it is amazing how God works so strongly in indirect ways that people don't even realize. My cousin went to Gana expecting to impact hearts for the Lord to the people she would encounter on a daily basis, but what she probably didn't expect was the opening of so many hearts back here in the states because of what she is doing. There are always reasons to pray, infact, back in the day praying was living, living was praying, every thought being focused on something higher. But that faded in me as my life fell further away from the truth. Yet now, out of love for my cousin and inspiration for what she is doing, I have been given a reason to pray alot more. I don't know if it is just that, or being inspired by her, but I have been more open to the Lord then I have in years.
Here are my favorite pics she has sent so far from her trip:
Live. Love. Visvas.
