Life has been kind of hectic lately as the days keep getting closer and closer to leaving on a year long mission to do the work God has called me to. I have been so blessed to have spent as much time as I have with family & friends. My brother came home the week after Thanksgiving (Thank you Lord for inexpensive flights) I was able to have the awesome opportunity to go to San Diego for a few days and watch one of my closest friends get married and spend time with her family. (Thank you Lord for points towards flights) Also my dad came home for most of the month of December. I couldn’t have asked for a better past few months spent with those I love. The emotions I’m having are kind of all over the place. While I am absolutely ecstatic about this new journey I’m about to embark on, the unknown has sunk in. I already don’t want to come home and I haven’t I even left yet. I don’t really think one can prepare for all the changes that are about to occur over the next year. But I have great trust in the Lord knowing that he will be the one to continue to show me the way in which to go both on the field and when I come home. Please continue to pray for peace to reign in my heart.
I’m excited to share that I have met my second fundraising goal of $10,000!!! It is only because of every single one of Y O U who has believed in me since day one that I am as far into this journey as I am!! Thank you is never going to be enough to express my gratitude. I am BLOWN away by the amount of people who have contributed.
My next goal is $3,000 due by the end of February and I truly believe that God will provide every single penny needed for me to complete this mission he has set before me.
