{ Hands & Tales (DAY 476) }

IMG_9726A little background about this one…  I met this beautiful young woman a few weeks ago through some friends of mine.  She was staying at their house during her epic trip from Australia (where she lives) throughout Canada and America.  Due to schedules I only got to see her a few times but we clicked really easily.  While walking around the track on the last evening I saw her I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do a Hands & Tales post with her.  All I had was my iphone but we made it work. 😉  Hope you enjoy her answers as much as I did and if you’re not familiar with why I do these posts you can read about it here.

Who has touched your life and why?  Beyond my parents, who are some of the most gracious people in the world, a significant influence has been a close friend from my church community. She has touched my life by loving me & investing in me, even when her life has been busy & she’s been anxious. She’s met with me, cared for me & helped me work out what life is as my 20-something brain battles through the understanding of my selfishness & the world’s ‘bigness’, which often seem contradictory.

What was one of the happiest days of your life?  One of the happiest days of my life was just recently – I have been traveling & I met up with a group of my good friends from home. It was so great to spend the day experiencing new things together. A day for history 🙂

What’s your greatest struggle right now?  My greatest struggle is knowing how to look to the future. I know I have an infinitely small impact on the world, although YOU [elaini] have shown me that one person can impact others greatly, but how do we just continue to move forward into unknowness? It scares & excites me, but beyond those feelings I know there is a God who loves this world & it’s people, and He knows the answers to this question. Trusting Him with that has been one of the hardest, yet most freeing parts of my Christian faith.
