So, It is October 1st, and I am filled with so many different emotions. I couldn’t even begin to name them all. As I write this blog I am kneeling next to my bed. I Honestly don’t know what to say.. I am fully expecting tomorrow to be one of the hardest days of my life. It is all so real. I know that when I lay down to go to sleep tonight, that i have to say goodbye to my mom, my family, and my friends, to leave for the next 11 months. I don’t even know how to begin to do that. I continue back and forth between prayer and writing this blog, trying my best to hold back tears. I plead with you for your prayers, and I know that they will come. Many of you have told me how brave I am that I am able to do this. Well I want you to know, that it is because of your prayers that God gives me strength. Your prayers are what’s holding me together. So thank you! I mean that, from the bottom of my heart and with everything I have. YOU have blessed me beyond belief. Your prayers, your friendship, and your support. I couldn’t thank you enough! I am trying so hard to think of the right thing to say, or to do, to show you how thankful I am, but honestly I just want to say… I love you! I am so excited for you to walk with me in this journey into a greater intimacy with our Father as you have been. I know that just as God has given me strength to make it this far, He is going to give not only me, but my mom and my family that same strength today! But I want to ask you for more prayer. Today, at 9:30 a.m. I am Leaving for the airport. My flight takes off at 12:05 p.m. Please set aside time to pray intensely for my mom especially, but also for me, and my squad as we we are truly walking by faith alone, leaving everything we know behind. And again I want to say thank you for everything! I am so excited to step out and see what God has ready for me, and the nations.
