Training camp is fast approaching and I cannot begin to explain my emotions but let me try.
I am first and foremost excited, I mean I am literally about to meet the people I will be spending 9 months of my life with! I have already made lifelong friends before even meeting some of them. This is a new experience for me as I have never been camping nor really know what I am doing. I know my team and God will guide me but I cannot say that I am not nervous. As I pack up my bag I realize this is one big step closer to leaving everything behind for almost a whole year. As I get my last immunization shots it begins to feel real. I am really going to away. This honestly is a scary thought. Then I think about any short-term mission I have been on or anytime I have ever preached the gospel. Now that is when I remember why I am doing any of this. Sure, it isn’t in my comfort zone in the slightest and I’m a little worried but when I think about what I will be doing there is not a nerve in my body telling me to stay. There is not one thing that has made me say “okay I am not going”.
I will go, I will make disciples in all nations, and I be the hands and feet of the Lord. As my team and I spend over a week learning the ropes of being on the field and truly learning to be “uncomfortable for God” please pray for us and everyone who has helped us get to this very moment. Thank you to everyone who has donated which has allowed me to complete my first deadline. I still have a large sum of money to raise, I trust God will provide. I continue to ask for support spiritually and financially.
See you Thursday K Squad!
