Today I set off to Georgia for my training camp.
It’s taken me time to start off my blog. Mostly because I didn’t know what I wanted to say or I was afraid of not saying the right thing.
I grew up in a Christian upbringing with a family who loves me unconditionally. I have two wonderful parents who would stop at nothing to give me the world. I’m the youngest child with two other brothers. I would say they’re my best friends. I feel so lucky to grow up as fortunate as I did.
My heart has always been at a place where I felt the need and desire to help others, even before myself. My goal this missions trip is to strengthen my relationship with Jesus as I follow unto his path of righteousness.
I tend to be an emotional person.. what girl isn’t? I’ve been praying for strength provided by the Lord for the obstacles I will encounter and not fold into pressure but to grow as an individual. The opportunity to help people less fortunate than me is something I will never take for granted.
I’m ready for what the Lord has in store for me and my Squad for the next three months. I’m ready for it to enlighten my heart in a way I didn’t know was possible and hear the voice of Jesus directing me for what to do next. There is no way to prepare, but as long as I know God is by my side, I can conquer anything.
Prayers for my parents being empty nesters for the first time run through my mind on and on. I’ll be home soon parents! I love you guys.
Prayers for my brothers to find a path they will follow and open their hearts to new opportunities and seize the day. I love you both more than anything.
Prayers for all the other people in my life to stay healthy, safe and never take a day for granted. I pray God will guide you for what you’re destined to do and be. I know you can do it!!
Prayers for my squad I will be meeting tomorrow. I can’t wait for the songs, dances and memories we endure together. May you hear the voice of Jesus lighten the path he is sending you on. Take pictures! This will be an adventure we will never want to forget.
