Wide Long Deep and High

I do not have any exciting events to report today, but just some thoughts that I've had in the past couple of days.
After talking to my roommates and another friend from back home, I've realized something. The people that I am here with in Casa ACU are Jesus in the flesh for me. We were created for relationship and whenever we're away from what we've known, they become our family. I want to be completely engulfed in what God has to show me in Montevideo (or wherever I might travel). Only when I have my eyes fixed on Him can I follow His path for me. Both Jacob and Thomas in the Bible had a time where God became theirs. It became a relationship that was like no one else's. I've always felt that I was on my way to knowing God better, but now I'm questioning. Being taken from my church, some of my core friends and even my town is like starting over again.
Will I gain confidence? Who can I turn to? How drastically is my life going to change? Am I ready? I honestly don't know, but i do know that Christ's love for me is Wide, Long, Deep and High! He will stick by me when I feel lonely, when I choose to risk and fail, when I want a hug and when I am joyful.
As the train tracks cross each other or run parallel, so are my life experiences. I will trust that He will say to me You are mine and You are loved always!

Thanks for listening to my thoughts :)
