For the first time in 4 four years I am jumping forward into the unknown. I know what is most important. I know what I want in life and I am getting it. Those times when I feel weak, when I feel sad, when I long for what I once had, I cannot allow those things to affect me any longer. I find comfort in the scriptures, especially in 2 Corinthians 12:7-11. Our weaknesses, our trials, they make us stronger, they humble us so that we turn to the Lord and in turn become stronger than we ever have been. I have faith that this mission will turn me into a better person. That I will be blessed for it in all aspects of my life. I have faith that I will land back on my feet, or even better, back in the hawaiian ocean.
