With only four days until I say my mooshy good-byes to my family, I'm trying to decide which items to shove into my backpack for the final try. I thought you lovely people might like to know about it. 🙂
Four days left, so how do I feel? Am I anxious? Worried? Staying awake at night, staring at the ceiling?! Those are good questions! Thanks for asking! Heehee. To be honest, what I mostly feel is abundant blessing from a loving Father and from you, His loving children. And I'm excited that all this talk about the trip is finally turning into action.
This morning I went to the grocery store with my brother Ricky, and in walked my dear G.A.'s (Girls in Action) teacher from when I was like eight years old. At church she used to tell me stories about "M's" (you know, those people who share the good news); and when she said that maybe we in the classroom might some day go and do the same, the statement deposited itself into my heart for later. She now actively supports me and prays for my trips! This morning I needed a hundred dollars, and the first thing my teacher said to me was, " Let me write you a [$100] check! I've been praying that I'd run into you." I had to laugh. God is so amazing! My teacher pulled Ricky and I aside and prayed over me right there. I felt God's peace wash over me as she prayed for the Living Water to flow through me on this trip. And as my brother and I left the store, we were amazed by our great God.
Christmas was beautiful, the family wedding I was in was fun, getting a new nephew is the best, seeing friends was a big blessing, having a house jam-packed with family was nothing short of exciting, and now…it's time to hit the nations again…FOR JESUS! 🙂
