I'm still in shock at this all and as time gets closer, I'm becoming more and more anxious/excited. I have training camp in a little over a month and I leave the country in three months!! Ahh!! I'm looking over all the stuff I need for the trip: backpack, daypack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, head lamp, tent, netbook (well I just need a laptop) and I'm getting overwhelmed. As I look over this list, though, it becomes all the more real that this is REALLY happening!!
I just spent the last hour reading about the specifics for each item I need and watching videos from World Racers that are currently on the trip or have already been. This is going to be an amazing year and God has been preparing me for it my whole life!! My family and friends joke that I don't shave often enough or bathe often enough and I always tell them I was made for an island. Well, I can definitely say I'm made for this kind of lifestyle. I'm holding all this love that I'm dieing to give away and I know that I will have the opportunity. I'm even more excited about the prospect that on this trip I may find the people and place that God is calling me to pour my life into!!!
I can't wait!! Please be praying and if you can help support me financially, my first deadline is coming up on June 18th. I need $3000 and I'm currently at $895. I've learned to trust God in this because last year when I went to Bali, God brought up $2000 in two weeks. We have a BIG God and He is capable of unimaginable things!! I'm thrilled to spend my life dedicated to whatever He has in store!
