Wow...Today 2 years of staffing with Youth With A Mission's Holoholo Discipleship Training School...
God has done a lot within these two years...a cause for celebration...YES!!! yet... it was difficult to celebrate when on the same day victorious and joyous day, I was releasing a friend to "GO" where GOd was leading her...back home to California.
Ode to KellyJo West!!!
KellyJo - "Orange County Baby!"...humorous in her own special way...a listening ear...a friend in times when I didn't have the strength to speak to anyone to share what was going on inside- God gave me "Kage." That's just a scratch of who this woman of a great God has been to me.
I went to the same DTS...from strangers we have become very close friends...we have labored, served, laughed, talked, listened, played, ran, swam, ate, slept, traveled and so much more together....we have LIVED life together following Jesus and it has been an amazing two years...one of the many Kage moments is knowing that it isn't good bye...but a see ya later...NO DOUBT...I'll be seeing her again. I know! its just different when you wake up the next morning seeing an empty top bunk, one less person....that has become not just a friend...but a sister! I love this sister of mine and will miss her daily presence!
"Nothing else really matters, only to love Him and to do what He tells me. I don't know quite why it should be so, but it is. All the time it is suffering to love and sorrow to love, but it is lovely to love Him in spite of this, and if I should cease to do so, I should cease to exist." -Much Afraid Hinds Feet on High Places
living to make God smile!
