Tomorrow is the day!

Tomorrow is the day that I take a leap of faith out of my comfort zone and away from everything I am familiar with. Although sometimes I find myself feeling guilty for doing this, I realize that is the Enemy. Over the past few months of preparing for this trip, I have been asked questions like, “Aren’t you going to miss your family? What about school? Are you going to finish school? Are you afraid of anything? When did you make this decision? What made you want to do this?”…………

Well… Of course I am going to miss my family. Like “KRAZY”! But I can’t let the fact that I will miss them stop me from going. I am leaving my family for a short time so that others may be with their family for eternity. As far as school goes, well what about school? Yeah I am going back. School will ALWAYS be there. For those of you who know me, you’ve probably known that I have had the dream of becoming a teacher since I was a little girl. But this past year, there has been some unforeseen changes. God’s plans for me are more than I would have ever imagined for myself. I am made for more and my plans are his plans. And right now, well right now I am called to go. As I go through this moment of being uncertain about my future career, I have decided to take a minute from school to just experience more of life before I continue with making a decision. If this is God’s plan for me, you bet I am going to live it.

When it comes to answering the question of if I am afraid of anything, well, not really. I mean of course safety is a thing, but that’s like a common fear with traveling, so I’m not really counting that. But if I really had to answer that, I would say…… nothing. I’m kind of at the point in my life where I feel like I’ve always lived in my little bubble of comfort and I’m finally ready to branch out and learn more than just what I am used to.

I chose to go on this trip obey and serve the Lord. I have chosen to open my heart to every single person who walks in and out of my life. I have chosen to love others like Jesus did. Through these next few months of serving, I am also leaving to do a bit of soul searching. I know that I am His, but I want to better understand my identity in Christ. So if you could, if you would, please pray for me as I go through this journey of serving, loving, learning, and growing.

I love you all! Thank you so much for all of your love and support!
