So yesterday I text everyone in my phone about my blog site and went from 4 followers to 57!!!!!!!!
I’m so excited that you all want to know what will be going on with my life over the next year! I’d like to let everyone know where I am at right now:
It is roughly 2 1/2 months before I leave for the first country of The World Race. I have had so many emotions going through me over the past few weeks and as it gets closer they continue to increase. I am going to miss everyone that I’ve surrounded my life with over the past few years and all of my life!
The Hard Stuff:
It will be challenging to go everyday without seeing all of you and knowing that it won’t be possible for the entire year. To miss my little kids growing up this next year, not seeing my Little Brother’s Senior year of sports, missing Best Friends weddings, not living with my “Boyz”, not talking much with my family, leaving my clients, and not being my softball girl’s coachn etc. etc. etc.! It will be different to live without the comfort of the American lifestyle: Safe homes, clean clothes, beds, plumbing, clean water etc.
What I’m looking forward to:
I am looking forward to ALL of the things above! It sounds crazy but I feel God is putting me in a position to grow and learn what life is really about….serving. I am excited to travel the World and touch people’s lives, to be uncomfortable and to be humbled. I am ready to follow the path that the Lord has laid for me, even though it won’t be easy.
What I expect:
I expect to cry a lot, to see poverty like I’ve never seen before, to love children who may not have been loved before, to teach those who are open to learning, to be humbled, to miss home, to long that I could make a huge difference, to touch someone’s heart, and to fall to my knees praying.
I can’t wait to see what the Lord has planned for my team and I over this next year. I know that the Lord will provide because he has called us to this and never gives us more then we can handle. I’m excited to become new and a changed person! I ask that you all keep me in your prayers!
LOVE!
