It’s been a while since my last post so I just wanted to update you all on what God’s been doing! I was blessed with the opportunity of ringing in the new year at the Passion conference in Atlanta, worshiping God with 65,000 other 18-25 year olds. Let me just say I don’t think there’s a better way to start off a new year much less a new decade! Even though that conference was amazing, the devil has definitely been coming at me with a lot of doubt about this trip. Doubt that I’m not good enough, that I don’t fit in, that I don’t know enough, that I’m going to lose all progress that I’ve made here… There’s been fear building inside of me about being so far from home in an unfamiliar place with people I’ve never seen. If you know me then you know just how far outside of my comfort zone this is! Even through all this doubt and fear, I feel a peace that I am going where God wants me to go. God has been pushing me in this direction and although I could come up with a million reasons to not go, I’ve said yes. I’m choosing to take this step, I am choosing to let go of control, I am choosing love, I am choosing God. I don’t want to let opportunities pass me by, I don’t want to sit in fear, I don’t want to miss God’s call on my life, which is why I’m going to Africa in less than 3 WEEKS! Though the task of packing seems daunting (and expensive!) I’m so excited to see how God is going to use my team and me. I am so excited to go and love on the people in South Africa, Swaziland, and Lesotho. And I am so grateful that you are partnering with me through prayer or financially or both. I am still short about $1000 but am believing that God will come through! I appreciate all prayers as my team and I continue to prepare to travel across the globe and spread Gods love.
