Small blessings

I went to a Fijian church service yesterday and that was such a cool experience for me. I got to see them sing, dance and just share their talents with us. I was blessed to be able to be there and to witness Jesus in other nations too. I am just blown away at the love that these people have not just for each other but for the Lord. I took videos and things from the service yesterday that I will share once I get home but I wanted to share about what God showed me there. I was sitting in the audience enjoying how amazing God is and how He created us all so different and yet similar on so many levels. While listening to the pastor, I turned around and saw some girls that I recognized from the church I have been attending. It was so nice to see familiar faces in the midst of a crowd of people I didn't know. They are the youth of that church who sing and are apart of the worship team, so I got to talk with them and hang out with them after the service when they had the food. It was just such a cool thing to have them there and to not feel like a total stranger to everyone. It is funny how God orchestrates those things little by little to make it better for me and to show me that He has a plan for my time here. They said they were so sad that I was leaving so soon. I was shocked that they wanted me to stay here longer, that was a nice feeling to know that my time here is seeming to get better and better. I was sitting with my Tongan family last night and while we were laughing and just enjoying the time together, I got a little sad to know that I wouldn't always be here to see them everyday. Its so funny how determining that you are going to stick it out and make the best of it, can change your attitude and outlook on your circumstances. I was just so blessed by this little truth today that I wanted to share it with you. God WILL change your attitude and outlook if you let Him. I pray you have a blessed day!
