Just a little blog to let you guys see my heart transparently at the moment.
I was out of town for a week and then was busy with Christmas celebrations so I'm delayed in telling you guys this but I have been told what my ministry will be during the first month. Team Monarch will be……….
………… backpacking to remote villages in the mountains of the Dominican Republic.
Story: While out of town I checked my phone and had a message from Justin that said he had posted our ministry for the first month. I started reading, got to the part about backpacking(about two sentences in) and quickly ran outside to the hot tub to share with my best friend. As I read the rest of the message out loud I was grinning from ear to ear while freaking out at the same time.
So after having some time to process it how do I feel? I can't help but laugh. This is going to be one huge challenge. But I absolutely know that this is exactly where God wants me to be and so I'm ready to dive into the World Race face first. Yes, face first, cause I expect to fall on my face at some point.
With two weeks left before leaving the question EVERYONE asks me is, "Are you nervous?" My response to this question time and time again is, "No, I'm really not."
I'm not nervous about leaving because I know my father is going to protect me and he is in total control(check out Psalm 121). However, my emotions are completely scattered about. I've laid in bed the last two nights very saddened for what I'm about to leave behind(selfish me). I feel overwhelmed by every thing I need to do before leaving. Don't take this the wrong way, I am beyond ecstatic to begin this journey. But all in all I'm freaking out.
So I'm asking that you'll pray for me. And my team. And my squad. The emotions are a roller coaster and are endless right now.
