Sometimes I still can't believe I really signed up for this. I am leaving in January to:

Live out of a back pack.

To leave everything behind- my friends, family, education, music.

To join hands with a group of people I don't know at all that will become my family.

To forsake my Western comforts (including, but not limiting to coffee, a cozy house, more clothes than I need, my personal time… the list could go on and on!).

To see the reality of this broken world that I so often forget about or sometimes even look the other way.

To hug an orphan.

To be burdened with NEW passions and desires for the world.

To love on a homeless woman and give her the hope of Christ.

To be stretched out of my comfort zone and face situations I didn't think I could handle.

To have adventure!!!!!! 😀

To see God raise a dead body back to life!

To see God heal MANY, both physically and spiritually.

To be a completely different person with a new mindset of Christ's love for the world.

To be a tool God will use to change lives.

To be HIS servant and forsake selfishness.

These are just a FEW of the many thoughts constantly turning inside of my head every day. God, continue to prepare me for what You have in store for this trip! :-DD
