The flood of blogs about training camp has begun. My blog is more about after training camp was over. That’s when the real work began, going home. I was only gone 10 days and yet I found it hard to understand how much I felt had changed without me. Realizing for the first time that the world around me changed a little everyday without me noticing because I was in it everyday. But by removing myself for 10 of those days, a change big enough to notice happened. That was just on the car ride home. Going back to work the next day and putting in the two week notice was another sobering moment. I’m leaving all form of money income for a year. Will Papa really take care of me? I’m not even fully funded, this is crazy! “Greater are the things I have for you.” That’s all I get back every time I push for an answer in all my worries. That’s all I have to lean on, faith. That’s all I can do. I have had so much love shown to me from my family these last few months. Their support and encouragement for this missions trip has been so humbling. I am blessed by Papa to able to go and do the things he has called me to do. Even though I still find myself surrounded by things I have yet to do in preparation for this trip, I stand firm to what I know. One by one my giants will fall, as long as I stay strong in Papa. So I will do everything in my power to go into the unknown where Jesus lives. Chase him as I did as a child when the world seemed to have so much more love. I want to be apart of that world so full of love, by being like Jesus as much as I can, to all the people I can.
