In less then 24 hours I will be leaving for launch (crazy right!?!?), there I will meet with my squad and then we will be leaving for Macedonia. I am leaving all my things (except what fits in my pack), my friends, family and my home. I am leaving it all behind to follow the Lord and what He has called me to do. 11 countries in 11 months, sharing the gospel, serving the people, and helping wherever we can while sharing the love of Christ. I am so amazed at the love, encouragement, and financial support that I have been shown from my friend’s, family and people I don’t even know well. Is this real life? Am I really getting to go on this crazy awesome adventure?

 

The past weeks have been filled with last minute preparation, fundraising, and saying my goodbyes to friends and family. It’s hard to say how I feel because it’s a scattered mess. I’m super excited, but a little nervous, little sad but just amazed at how good God is. Many people have surrounded me with encouragement and have loved me well these past few weeks. That has been more overwhelming then any of my fears or anxieties. I have received so much support and many prayers that it is overwhelming. I’m leaving. This is real. And I could not be more excited.

 

I have raised a lot of my funds so far but I still need about $5,000. The next due date is the end of October which I need about $2,000. By the end of December, I must be fully funded. It’s a little hard not to freak out about that but I know the Lord will provide in His timing. It seems like a lot, but it is nothing compared to where I started; I have been so blessed.
