I can’t believe how the time has flown. In a matter of hours I will be driving to launch in Atlanta, GA, and then leaving for Peru on Sunday!
As I lay here unable to sleep a million different things are running through my mind. I am nervous and excited all at the same time! I am not even sure that it feels completely real yet. Five months ago none of this was even happening, and in a matter of only five months God has taken me on this crazy journey, that has lead to the beginning of a kingdom journey!
I have to laugh at myself when I start to already try and plan out my life for when I return in a year. You would think by now I would have figured out that my plans never really work out. The truth is I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life, where I want to live, what I want to do, all I know for sure is that God has put a calling on my heart, and I am willing to go wherever that call may lead. I don’t know what my life will look like a year from now, where God will lead, I don’t even know what it will look like a few days from now, all I know is that I am so in love with my God, and I am so done trying to control the uncontrollable. I am not self-sufficient, I cannot make it through this life on my own, I have chosen to embrace the brokenness in my life and depend on God. He is my strength.
I am already completely blown away by His grace and His love! I cannot even imagine what else is in store!
In only a matter of months through such incredible acts of generosity and kindness from people in my life and through people I don’t even know, God has provided support, He has provided funding, I mean nearly $11,000 in only four months? Are you kidding me? I know I probably shouldn’t be surprised because God can do anything, but my mind is still completely blown! That’s amazing! As I leave for launch I am still not fully funded but I know it’s going to be okay, that some how it will happen, because God is so freaking amazing!
I am so excited, to live in the present, to not know what each day will hold, to grow in my relationship with God, to grow with my teammates, to live in community, to spread love, to serve others, to literally be His hands and feet! I am ready for the unexpected, the unknown!
I am ready to run!
