Today, I finished up the rest of my support letters and I am feeling so excited and nervous. While I have been working on my support letters, I keep thinking about this huge adventure that lays right in front of me and I seriously just feel this huge rush of excitement running through me. I seriously cannot wait to meet my squad mates in October at training camp and get to know one another. Or that in January I will be boarding a plane with these awesome people and wander the earth that our incredible Father created and spread the amazing love He has. I really cannot wrap my mind around being away for 11 months or that I will be traveling to 11 different countries. It is seriously a dream and I am so blessed and thrilled to do what I feel God has been calling me to do.
I will say I am nervous about raising the money, especially when I look at my squad mates and how much they have but I remind myself that I was just accepted and it has only been almost a month. I know God is going to provide and I just have to focus on what He wants of me. I need to leave it at His feet and not worry or go back and pick those worries up again. It is in His amazing hands and He will guide me through this process.
Also getting to know my squad mates has been amazing and it is awesome how we are constantly encouraging one another. We haven’t met yet but we are there for each other already and it is incredible to see God working in each of our lives. I seriously cannot wait to see all their lovely faces in October and go through training camp, which we are all trying to figure out what to expect. This is going to be one of the greatest things I do in my life and will turn my world upside down and change me in ways I could never imagine. But it is going to be worth so much.
I just ask that everyone continue to pray for me and raising the funds that I need, along with lifting my squad mates up. Also lift up my parents and family because they are having to prepare for me not being here for almost a year and traveling around the world. I appreciate all support (prayer, giving, etc) and could not thank you enough. <3
I seriously can’t believe that I am getting ready to embark on this incredible adventure that I have dreamed about. I can’t wait to do God’s work and spread His amazing word and love. I can’t wait to meet the beautiful people in each country and help them. I can’t wait for the adorable children I will get to hug and hold. I can’t explain the rush I feel every time I think about this and getting to do the one thing I truly love doing, being a missionary!
