Eyes

One of the first things I notice when I meet someone is their eyes. I think eyes are absolutely beautiful. I love how many different shapes and colors there are and how you can learn so much about the person through their eyes. I love that eyes are the way most of us view the world. These small things on our faces give us beauty, color, and depth. Unfortunately, they also soak in the not so pretty things of life. These eyes of ours help us create an attitude, good and bad, of all the things that happen in our life. I've thought about how it would be to view the world through someone else's eyes. We all have different attitudes and perspectives that together create such a diverse world. Then, I think about God's eyes, filled with compassion and love for all, wanting the best for everyone. What would it be like to view the world through His eyes?


I'm leaving in less than 2 days! I'll be heading out for an adventure of a lifetime. But for some reason I just can't seem to grasp that I'll be half way around the world in just a few short days. Hearing everyone say they're back at Walla Walla and ready for the new school year makes me miss seeing everyone. But, I know that going to Bangladesh is what God has in mind for me and I'm excited for the opportunity to grow and learn. I'm ready for something new and challenging! I'm ready for God to use me. 


And I want to see the world through His eyes.
