We were on our way home, finally, after four days of challenging adventure all were ready to get back to friends and family. We ended up taking the train back up to Copenhagen, running to the bus station, and taking the bus back to Oslo. Ricardo made the responsible decision to take the train from Oslo to home so that he could spend time with his family before they left for the weekend. Ingunn and I stayed over at a friends house in the city and woke up at 6:00 to hitch hike back to Grimerud. Eight hours and eight different car rides later we were dropped off right in front of the main building here at Grimerud. Through this whole journey I have learned that even in the lowest points, in the times where you feel like nothing could ever change your situation, God is there. He is faithful through the good times and the rough times. He is constant, never changing, always present in our lives. He loves to bless us but He also loves to teach us, and sometimes that means being challenged. It is okay to be challenged, we need that, we need to be uncomfortable, pushed to our limits. We need to get out of our comfort zones. for when we are vulnerable we learn to rely solely on God. We see our weaknesses, our failures, and we know that the only one who can save us is The Lord. When we put ourselves out there we get to experience God in a whole new light, we get to trust Him at a deeper level, and He never disappoints. When you have God you can always take comfort in knowing that He see's the whole canvas, He knows more than you will ever know, and He loves you. If you can grasp a hold of that truth there is no reason to be afraid. God is with you. He is faithful.
