Eight years ago I made the biggest change of my life thus far, I moved away from home across the country nontheless. It was a huge move coming from a town where it was unheard of to move away. I knew from the time I was five I was moving away and I told my mom all the time. It was a scaring and exciting adventure and changed me in many ways. It was one of the best decisions I ever made now I'm on the verge of the next big change. I'm leaving to travel around the world and serve God. I truly couldn't be happier but at the same time I have a fear that grips me and a sadness too. Sadness that my mom isn't here to see me and be part of my great adventure. I often wonder what she thinks of me. I've learned over the past few years that I don't need her because I have God and he sees ever tear I shed and he's there to comfort me and has put some amazing people i my life for that as well.
As I stand on the next great big journey I can't wait to see what the outcome will be. I can't wait to be used by God across the world. I can't wait to grow in community with my soon to be best friends. I can't wait to experience true cultures and be apart of their society. I can't wait wait for adventures like white water rafting and riding an elephant. I can't wait to hold babies and love on them. I can't wait to preach in churches and on streets. I can't wait to see God in other nations. I can't wait to bring people to Christ. I can't wait to have conversations with people. I want to cast out demons and see the sick healed. I want to make my Daddy proud but I already know he is. I am his, he knows me by name and has numbered every hair on my head. I can't wait to grow as the woman of God I am and prepare for what God needs me to do.
There is fear in this and tears. I had tears streaming down my face as I began writing this. But the tears and the fear belong to the flesh and I want to live outside of that. I want more and more I will get! As the next year is almost upon me I am sad to leave my friends and family but I know they will follow me and be part of it all. I'm scared of the unknown but also intranced by it and ready to experiene it. God has my back as I set out and that is all I need! He's calling me like in Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
I'm excited to do what most people could only dream about and I am blessed by that. I'm giving up my comfort and my normalcy but my gains will be far greater.
