Got to walk around the city

Well hello everyone! I am happy to report that I am still alive (do not know why in the world I wouldn't be) haha. Today was a chill day for me. I got to sleep in to 10:30 and then got to walk around the beautiful city of Brno with Phil. It is absolutely amazing. (Pictures will hopefully be coming soon). I was apart of a conversation club tonight, which was just simply talking to Czech people in English (which im not half bad at). They love the language here and tonight was just a time for them to practice. It is a little tough for me because it was a little out of my comfort zone, which is good. I am being stretched just by simply talking to people I don't know. Please pray that God will help me be a little more outgoing so that I can make myself more available and be a little more interactive.

Beauty

Stop, look, think,
Try to imagine the days of creation,
Try to picture God's hand sculpting the world,
The mountains, the valleys,
The beauty,
It is all around
Slow down, just take a second to look,
I know your day is busy, but you have time,
Think, appreciate, be amazed
There is so much detail, but you have to pay attention,
Don't just let it be a blur,
Really stop and look,
Isn't it beautiful,
Isn't it amazing,
Isn't it incredible,
Do you see it?
It's God's beauty

I'm in Europe

Dear Everyone,

This is my first blog for my trip to Europe. I am very excited to be able to communicate with all of you, so you can read about everything that is going on in my life and the lives around me. Well after a full 36 hours of traveling I finally reached my destination of Brno. I am, to say the least, a little tired and ready for bed. I am very excited for all of my experiences and opportunities I will get to have while I am here. I hope you all enjoy the words I write for some laughs, prayers, and exciting news along the way.

One of my passions is poetry. I want to try to write a poem for each blog I post. I may not always be able to or it may even be very short, but I would love to be able to give some words in a unique to express my experiences, so here is the first.

Waiting or Patience

Waiting, patience,
Two completely different concepts for many situations,
One we all must do, the other we all can choose,
So why the world is constantly waiting,
I choose to have patience,
Because it just may be worth the wait
