hi everyone!! 

there’s officially less than two weeks until im hoppin’ on a plane for Georgia!! wow!! i figured this would be a good time to share some updates with you. 🙂

update #1:

i am officially FULLY FUNDED. yeah, you read that right. the entire $6,400 has been raised, plus enough to cover my vaccines and other expenses. i am so extremely grateful for everyone who has financially supported me. it means so much to me. not to mention- there’s been a lot less stress about money the last few days. 

update #2: 

i know i said that hopefully by the time we leave i would be able to update y’all about what our ministry work will look like…but you’re going to have to wait a little longer for that. we still do not know where we will be serving, but i can assure you that it’ll be good 🙂 

update #3: 

in these last few days before i fly out to Georgia I would greatly appreciate your prayers. it seems like out of nowhere everything finally feels so real. i can almost count the amount of days left on my hands, i’m done support raising, i did a “practice run” of packing my backpack with my parents the other night, goodbyes are starting this week, alllll the things.

and with that, comes a whirlwind of emotions. most of the time i’m so excited and cannot wait.

but i also feel a weight that seems to loom over my head. leaving my friends and family, not knowing how often ill get to talk to them, worrying about forgetting something, leaving the US for the first time, there’s so many things that run through my head.

i briefly talked with a friend this morning about how its so easy to second guess if this is what i should be doing along with how i’ve been feeling. she pointed out the spiritual warfare taking place. sharing with me how satan is clearly trying to intervene with my plans because he knows they are good and theres a good reason that God is calling me to Ecuador.

for the next 11 days, i have decided to take a chunk of time out of my day to specifically spend time intentionally praying for the next three months and for each day leading up to January 26th when we fly to Ecuador. 

with that, your prayers for me to continue to confidentially walk into this next season without hesitation and instead with confidence would be so appreciated.
