Happy Thanksgiving

Indeed, Happy Thanksgiving from Africa!  I hope everyone is doing well
and I am excited to be back in 13 days!  It’s weird.  I definitely can
explain this as bitter sweet.  I mean this isn’t just a mission trip
anymore..it’s my life.  I live here.  I have friends here.  It’s
definitely not what I thought was going to happen, this is not how I
expected to feel…but I am thankful for EVERYTHING.  It’s been so much
more wonderful and I am so thankful to our Father in Heaven.  He is
GOOD.  He has been changing me and shaping me into the person He has
planned.  One of my dear friends said to me the other day, “You are who
you are…but not who you will be.”  That stuck with me because it’s so
true.  I am who I am, God made me Sarah Rose Denning.  He made me who I
am and He doesn’t want me to sit here and wish I was someone else, or
that I had a different life.  He made me me, and He did it with
knowledge and a plan.  But at the very same time, this is just me
now…this is not who He wants me to be tomorrow, or next week, or next
year.  His plan for me is for me to grow.  To grow in Him, to grow in
knowledge of Him, to grow in relationship with Him, to grow.  He does
not want me to be the same tomorrow as I am today because He wants so
much for me and my life.  He loves me and wants to see me being
challenged and so much more.  So very quickly..all in all I urge you to
take that quote from my friend, and take it for your life.  Because
it’s true, you are who you are, but not who you will be.  Be who God is
wanting you to be.

Well, next time I email you I will be emailing from the good ol’ US of
A.  Please pray for safety.  Thank you so much!  LOVE you all!

For His Glory,
