My kingdom journey is just begining. Well it started in Africa. I was on a passport trip to Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. While I was there I realized that my heart is for the nations. Since I got home I haven't felt right about staying in America. I have been praying and Praying about what I should do. The world race was on my mind 24/7and it was consuming all of my free time. I was checking out the race routes and saw a route that just stuck with me. I am now so excited to say I am going!!
              With that all being said, I am so nervous also. I had no problem leaving home for 2 months but now I am leaving for 11. I am going to miss my family and friends, but I know it is where God has me going. I am leaning on God to provide the funds and encouragement for me and my fellow team mates. (So far they all are so amazing and I already love them all!) But I know that this trip is going to change my life even more than it did in Africa. I can not wait to see what God is going to use us all in, and how we are all going to grow. I know that God has a plan for us all and that he is prepairing us all to head out on the trip of our lives. He is prepairing our hearts for the love we will be giving to others and to eachother. We all need the prayers and hope to keep going and stay strong in our faith. I know that it seems easy to pray that, but it takes a lot to keep praying it when life gets hard. I know that there is a lot of things to get ready to go, and then there will be a lot that we will encounter, but I know that together we all can come together (as we already are) and take up our crosses and lay down our comforts to help others. I am so blessed to get to go with this amazing group and get to experience life in a new way. Thank you Lord for the things you are giving me right now!
