I have often begun to wonder what I have gotten myself into, and I am positive that those of you that know me pretty well are wondering the same thing!
If you know me, I am a PRINCESS. Well, at least that's the running joke in my family. I am the baby of 5 siblings and 15 grandchildren! As a child yes I was spoiled and for the most part, I have gotten what I wanted, but in growing older I have learned to be a hard worker and independent! Being a considered "princess" goes much further then that I am afraid.
I AM a picky eater.
I HATE being outdoors and bugs.
I LOVE my showers and ME time (nails and hair being done, shopping and tanning)
I DON'T go hiking, camping, hunting or fishing.
I have a BIG, nice, comfy BED that I sleep on most EVERY NIGHT.
AND I am sure this goes on but you get the point…
By now you are really wondering, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SHE GETTING INTO?
I am taking a leap of faith. I am wondering outside of my comfort zone. I am abandoning the worldly things I know and love, and trading them for the unknown. I am going to travel to 11 countries in 11 months. I am going to sleep on the ground, in airports, on buses or on the streets. I am not going to shower everyday or wash my clothes regularly. I will eat things I have never dreamt I would. Bugs and other creatures are gonna become my friends.
These are just some of the things I know will happen, but the truth is I don't know exactly what I am getting my self into. What I do know, is that my life will forever be changed, I will be molded into a different person, and I will have a faith stronger then ever. I know my life will be touched and changed just as much as those that I am seeking to make a difference in their life, and I am welcoming of that.
I am doing all of this, to serve my GOD, because it is what HE is CALLING ME to do. I know its gonna be hard, and sometimes seem impossible, but I KNOW that God will provide for me and get me through EVERYTHING he puts in my path. I am living out Gods will and giving myself to him COMPLETELY.
