One month from today on January 2nd my mom and I will be flying to Atlanta for Launch (World Race send off). I’m feeling a range of many different emotions. Moving out of Minnesota is going to be really sad for me. I love my life here. I love my apartment, my roommate Libby, my church community, and don’t even get me started on how much I will miss roommate dinners with my Pemberly group or how much I will miss my dance friends. I have an amazing life in Minnesota and I’m hoping it’s not goodbye but see you later. I feel excited to go overseas and become more globally minded and learn about how God is at work around the world. I am excited to immerse myself in new cultures, learn about people’s life experiences around the world, and gain some vision for a certain vocation or a people group that I would like to work with long term. I feel nervous knowing there are always risks with international travel. I am placing myself in the Lord’s hands and praying His hand of protection over my life. I feel anxious about fundraising. It feels like I’ve asked everyone I can ask to financially support my trip. At this point, I’m trusting that God blows me away by His faithfulness to provide in these next few weeks. In the meantime, I’m praying I can maximize my time here in Minnesota with friends and have sweet time with family during this upcoming Christmas season.
Fundraising update: I currently have $6846 fundraised with more donations still being processed. My next fundraising deadline is coming up on December 21st. If you have not already done so, would you prayerfully consider financially supporting my trip? A donation of any size is greatly appreciated.
