To my thirteen and fourteen year old nieces the thought of not being able to shave was unimaginable to them. I told them I would be able to shave, but wait until they see my closet for the next year!
Today is the day before I leave for eleven months, it seems like the last eight months of preparing and fundraising flew by. Are you ready? Are you nervous? What are you expecting? Those questions freak me out. I think I’m ready? I think I have everything? Yea I guess I’m nervous to leave behind everything I know for the next year. As I sit here writing this, a million thoughts are flooding through my head, and a billion butterflies fluttering around in my stomach.
Getting to this point has been an adventure in itself; me being the independent woman I like to be had to be thrown out of the window. God, how you have taught me what true humility is! I have had to let go in order for him to do His work, in order for His blessings to flow. When the acceptance of the fact that I can’t do anything without Him, the blessings being to flood in! What a beautiful sight it was; “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).
We set out tomorrow on an adventure that He is in control of. The Lord has chosen which of His sons and daughters that he wants to send; He makes all things work together. I truly believe that He has something great in store for all of us. The only thing that I know for sure is that I am exactly where He wants me to be, this has not only been a dream of mine, but His plan all along.
So many of you have blessed me more than I could say, you have loved me well, and prayed for me. Please continue to pray for me, my team and my squad. I look forward to living out 2015 as the hands and feet of the Lord here on earth. I look forward to spreading the Father’s love, joy, peace, and bringing heaven to earth.
