I just arrived in Atlanta, where we will spend a few days at Launch, which is really just a fancy way to say some final training, processing, and preparations before we fly out. We will officially be leaving the States on Sunday, July 7. First stop: Thailand, and I am pretty excited about that!
As the reality of this trip is sinking in and I am realizing the true magnitude of the power in it, I am getting more and more anxious to get out on the field every day. I truly cannot wait to see how God is going to show up because I know He’s got some crazy amazing plans for this journey! While the emotions of leaving can be overwhelming at times, I am confident and secure in the fact that this new season on the Race is the next natural step for me and is exactly where God has called me to be. There is no fear, no questioning, and no apprehension because I know Papa God takes care of His children. Joshua 1:9 reminds us of this, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." There is no room for worry in a heart led by faith alone, and I rest knowing God will provide throughout whatever He calls us to do.
Thank you, readers, for ALL of your support on this journey, whether it is prayerfully, emotionally, and/or financially. Behind the sadness leaving you all for this period is so much gratitude, and it is humbling. I know that I am heading towards people and nations who have absolutely nothing, and you all remind me every day how truly blessed I am. So, here’s to the beginning of the journey of a lifetime and the wonderful things that God will do in all of our lives over the next year!
Cheers,
Katie
