Spiritual Gifts - Morgan

 This is my third mission trip and I feel like this is a trip that I have made significant improvement when it comes to my faith journey. My other two trips were mainly about cementing myself in the group and starting to become more individualistic. This trip has felt different in terms of my curiosity with God and what my faith looks like. On Tuesday, after showers, I was talking to June outside the showers and we started talking about questions that I had been having and vulnerabilities that I showcased at the previous nights church group time. One of the topics that June had mentioned to me was spiritual gifts that every person has, but has to seek and search for it over time. Ever since that exchange, I have seen God’s work all around me. Wednesday morning, the Youthworks staff started talking about each persons spiritual gift, then at the Bible Study at the service site we were at, a lady there mentioned that everyone has a spiritual gift. It is like God has a huge billboard giving me signs. These observations make me feel more open minded and curious to how much God loves us and listens to us. This connects back to our theme this week that we need to be rooted in Gods love and understand the height, width, length, and how deep God loves us and to be filled with his love. He listens to us and gives us so many signals and signs that he is always with us. I am excited to keep learning about God and what I can take away from the rest of this mission trip.
