If I were to sum up this whole blog it would be: Trust in God and He will set you free.
Before you read this, just know that I like to be raw and open. From the car ride to training camp, I was feeling a mix of things, but the one thought I had to constantly push out was doubt. Doubt about whether I could do this, to let go of my comfort zone and step into literally a whole new zone. There was no way that I would turn back now, not after I chose to raise money instead of spending time that could have been with family and friends. Not after the financial sacrifice that people had made so I could go on this missions trip to advance the gospel. I had made a commitment and chose to put my back up against a “mental wall” and the only way was to go forward.
Despite how hard it was to let go and say difficult goodbyes, deep down I knew that this was going to be so spiritually growing and some of the best moments I will ever experience. God called me to go and He promised to never leave my side, so that through the ups and downs I can say that He is faithful and good. This past week and a few days have been very eye opening! God has given me a completely new perspective and heart for serving others and learning how to live more like Him. I cannot wait to see what He has in store for me in these next eleven weeks! I feel more free than I ever have because of the freedom that Christ gave us through trusting in Him and also the freedom from fear of stepping out into unknown waters. .
