Dear Amanda-
Girl your world is about to be rocked. You are going to be pulled into a couple directions, you will be challenged, changed, and convicted. Buckle up. I know you have your plan, and you think you know what is best, you think you know what you want, but God knows better.
You are going to leave Bethany, and it will be hard, but you'll get through it and so will they. You will move home and that will be challenging and rewarding, amazing and chaotic. You are going to have a blast working with some cool people and doing silly things with family.
God will be so good. He will lead you and guide you, he will comfort you when confusion overwhelms you. He will provide is so many ways through so many people. You will literally be shocked.
This all before the big part. This is before you even really know what is going on. Before you GO.
So for now rest. Soak up everything! EVERY LAST MOMENT, every smile and hug, every family dinner and crazy time, because soon you will go and do.
11 countries in 11 months will be here before you know it. God is going to use it to change you and change your life like you could never imagine, all for his glory.
Get pumped and rest in him and his infinite wisdom.
Love your somewhat older and wiser self.
