| American and Ghanaian Flags flying at the Volta Lake Hotel |
I'm not sure if leaving Ghana was the bittersweet part or returning back to the states was, I would lean more on the side of leaving Ghana was. If I had to explain the past three months of my life I wouldn't know where to begin because there are so many words that I could use. If I had to choose one though it would be FRUITFUL. Why Fruitful? I believe fruitful fully embodies all my feelings in one word. To be fruitful is to be productive, fertile and produce fruit. This trip for me has been fruitful in more ways than one and I know that seeds that have been planted will produce great fruit. It's only the beginning, I've only touched the tip of the iceberg.

This trip has sensitized me to certain areas and things that I would have been otherwise numb to before as well as desensitized me to things I would've showed unnecessary attention to. The past few months have been the most trying yet fulfilling time of my life.There have been many times I've asked God why but not once did I nor will I consider giving up. I've been broken down to pieces, where I have no other choice but to depend on and cling to God. I've been challenged in more ways than one and I'm ready for what God has for me next. I've learned that being sufficient on God doesn't necessarily mean I'm weak, it means I'm wise enough to know that through the only one true and living wise God is where I receive me strength. Now more than ever I understand purpose and how so many lives depend on believers who walk in their purpose faithfully.
This trip was nothing short of a FAITH move. I've learned that Faith is never intimidated. Faith intimidates opposition. Faith is an enduring force. Faith never gives up. Nothing motivates zeal like Faith does. I'm excited to continue to see Faith in action and I look forward to growing and learning to love fearlessly.
