It's Good Friday. So many people wonder why it has the word good in it. I use to but I've come to decide for myself that no matter where the name truly came from or who decided to call it that, it is truly good. It should honestly be called "the greatest Friday EVER!" because the GREATEST person to ever walk the earth made the GREATEST sacrifice so we could have the GREATEST and most glorious eternity! That's my theory and I'm sticking to it! So no matter how hard today will be in seeing Jesus' suffering I know that He only had to die once.
This is also a time of reflection for me on the past 2.5 months of living here to glorify His name. It's hard to believe that I will be coming home so soon. I just pray that I can bring some of what I learned here home. (hopefully not the super aggressive driving part!) I remember looking at my book from my small group at the beginning of this trip and thinking "wow, I have SO much time left!" and now I have only a few pages. It will be hard but I have the opportunity to come back this summer for about 5 weeks for summer camp. It wouldn't be a huge sacrifice but I know that I have to allow God to guide my choices. I'm excited to come home and I know this will not be the first and last time I will have been here!
