The week leading up to camp has been absolutely crazy. From packing up everything at my town house, to driving to Joplin, Mo for a friends graduation, to driving to Little Rock for a fundraiser, and then trying to get the last of my suplies. Don’t get me wrong, I was excited to see friends and am thankful for the support people are giving me, but man I am just ready to get outside the coutry and minister.
I remember when I first said I was going on the trip, I was so excited and energized and ready. Now that I leave for training camp tomorrow, I am just as excited, but a little nervous. I am nervous about a couple of things. The fact that I am leaving close friends and family behind and the fact that I am having to rely on faith that all of my funding comes in with me being outside the country. God has taken care of me up to this point in my life, from Show Me Youth Home, to Ozark Christian College, to my job with Ridgeview group home. He’s always had me in his hands. I’m just going the miss the ones I love mostly.
I heard stories growing up about how much faith it takes for someone to leave out on the mission field and how hard it was. I mean to sacrifice everything and put your life on hold for the kingdom is something huge, but I didn’t know it would really be this hard at the time to go. There are people I will be leaving and will not see them for a long time. It’s all for the kingdom, but it is still hard.
You are just hearing a little from my heart at the moment and my hope is that you will pray for these two things that I am struggling with. Like I said, I know God will provide, because he always has.
Please pray for me while I am at training. I will be there from May 21-31 and I leave from Little Rock tomorrow to drive to Atlanta. I am at $6700 for my total and only need $800 more to get my launch cost. Please consider giving if you can. Thank You so much loved ones for everything. Bless you.
