I am sitting here in my room mere hours before I leave for the airport to fly to Mexico. This has certainly been a wierd time for me. I have been waiting for months for this day to arrive. And I am certainly feeling a mix of extreme excitement and sadness as I part with my friends and family. But I could not be happier with where God is leading me. I have long prayed that I would follow God wherever He would have me go, and now that He has called me, I desire nothing else but to follow Him. I know that I am going all over the globe to help serve people, but I also know that this will be a year of intense growth for myself. This year will no doubt stretch me in ways I cannot even imagine at this point.
I cannot wait to see the ways in which I will change over the course of the year. It will certainly be fun, exciting, dangerous, and even scary at times, but I know that this year is not about me and how much God needs me to go to these places. I need God to take me to these places to show me what it means to fully trust God, to know Him by His voice, to know how to follow Him. I pray that through my time with the world race, I will not only be able to minister to people in foreign countries, but I will be able to minister to you and you to me. Please communicate with me as much as you like. I would love to hear from anyone and everyone (just be patient with my replies)!
God is inviting each one of us to follow the adventure He has set out for us. I believe that this path is different for everybody, the majority are not called to go around the world. But for those of you who have families or are working or studying at school, seek God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. It is amazing what He will show you when you ask Him to!!!
