"My Birthday in the Middle East"

gallery 4I would rather be in no other place but the Middle East for my 21st birthday.  After living here for one month, I'm almost speechless when I try to convey my experinces.  I know God has sent me on this journey for a reason, but I haven't figured it out; and maybe I'm not supposed to.  I've seen things I could stare at in awe forever.  I've seen things that made me cry.  I've seen God ineverything, though sometimes I had to look closely.  I hope to realize God's awesomeness by the end of this journey, or at least get a good start.  I thank my Father for ever day I get to be here and share His love with others.  For this birthday, my wish is for the people of the Middle East to experience God's everlasting love.
