Wonderlust.

Wonderlust. The one word that describes my heart right now. It means "a great desire to travel and rove about." 
Don't get me wrong I love my home, but I want nothing more than to widen my horizons. To see things and cultures that I have never seen before. My heart yearns for these places and I, one day, will pursue this passion!

Learning to Let GO and Let GOD.....


It's week one of summer break and i'm finding it extremely difficult. You see this summer I was suppose to head to Africa for a whole month. It was the journey and the mission that kept me going all through this past school year. When i wasnt daydreaming about it i was dreaming about it in my sleep. But it turns out that mission was not in God's plan for my life, and i had an extremely hard time accepting it.

During my time of daydreaming, I had completely lost sight of reality. I was trying to control something that I couldn't. I didn't realize how many people around me were hurting and in need of Christ. .... it's crazy... how one can be sooo oblivious to those things.
so here is where the title of this post comes in. You see I was angry. I was angry at God. At my parents. And especially at myself. I felt like I was alone even when I was surrounded by so many people. I wanted nothing more than to go to Africa and to hold those babies and give them the love they've never had. But I had quit listening to God. It had become all about what Michaela wants and not what God wants.

So now i'm sitting here writing this post telling whoever you are to Let GO and Let God because when you start to depend on yourself instead of Him you will fail every single time. And i'm telling you if you don't you are in for a rude awakening of a reality check.
Even though my heart yearns everyday for those babies in Africa and i'm still dealing with my complete heartbreak, my relationship and my faith in Christ has grown abundantly!

My challenge for you today is no matter what you are dealing with, quit trying to do it by yourself. Ask God to give you the strength and to carry you every step of the way.
Reader I challenge you to LET GO and LET GOD!!!
