Valentines Day

Valentines Day.

Woke up - 3:45am.

Left our friends - 4am.

Breakfast of cappuccino and chocolate - 5am

Singing love songs and talking about boys - 6am

Boarding the plane to Peru and opening a valentine from my best friend - 8:30am

The rest is history...

It was a good morning.

Time to talk about Argentina.

Our six weeks there flew by in the blink of an eye.

We met some of the most amazing people and made great memories.

God worked on the hearts of everyone on our team, especially myself.

I have been reading a book called Amplified Leadership (excellent read).

Starting off as a leader of this track, I thought I knew a lot.

I thought I knew what being a leader was all about.

In fact I was so confident that after week two, I had already picked out two potential leaders from our team.

But, God has a way of showing me that I don't know everything.

That plane ride to Peru, I relized I thought wrong.

I don't know everything about being a leader.

And I chose the wrong people.

Good thing I didn't tell anyone except Andrew.

I am learning to listen to God instead of myself.

Of course, Anita!  God knows infinately more than you do.

Anywhoo, Argentina.
