I am still going strong here in Nantes, it's my home. I may have chosen to come here randomly but there is nothing random with God. He was the one who brought me here and it's clear that this is where he wants me to stay for the moment. I am engaged in so many projects here that I feel like it's giving me a firm foot on the ground. I have moved around so much in the last 7 years and it's nice to feel planted. I see that there is a need for my gifts and I am finding more ways to use them. In my church, I get to serve using my social skills and artistic talents. I am apart of the GBU (Groupe biblique universitaire), which a student bible study I snuck into. I am praying and hoping that I can host a GBU bible study in home next semester. It's all in God's hand's because I don't have place, I am staying with a friend. I just have so many desires to serve and open my home to students. I am also on a team that organizes youth nights every couple months. It's called PULSE (Prière Unité Louange Service Édification) or (Prayer Unity Worship Service Edification). Our vision is basically to do all these five acts in our walk in Christ and encourage the youth in their faith. God is sneaky because he is making me a missionary in my local church and to students without me even realizing it. ;) I love it! What's really amazing is I love what I am doing and I am using my gifts. So for me this is all very natural. God is so faithful. I just sent in my paperwork for my long-stay visa. I am praying that it will be accepted and I won't have to get extensions anymore. Not having a visa and only extensions makes me feel not-quite-settled. I know this is where I should be so I have faith that God will finalize all the details.
I would like to add this image as a dedication to my friend Anne. You will be truly missed. Love you!
