So, the journey begins. I never would have imagined it would get here this fast. All the fundraising and preparing for this 11 month journey God has called me to. I am so excited to see what happens during these next 11 months.
One of the biggest challenges so far has been leaving my family, friends and everything I know back home. I’m not someone who generally likes change. I like being around my family and knowing what’s going on in their life. To be away for 11 months means I’m not going to know whats going on all the time. I’m going to have to let go of every comfort zone and routine I have. I’m going into an adventure of the unknown. I won’t know where I’m staying, sleeping, showering or what I’ll be doing until I get there. Before leaving I tried to see and spend as much time as I could with my friends and family. I’ll be missing out on birthdays, holidays and special events. So yes, it was a hard see you later for me but I know God has great things planned. I cried many tears as well as many moments of nerves and anxiety arose. With the support and encouragement of all my family, friends and other supporters, I was able to push through the uncertainties. I made it past the what ifs, the I cant’s, and the why’s and choose to trust in God. This has already taught me to have Faith and to Trust in the Lord most high for he knows the way.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all this through him who gives me strength”.
John 5:30 “By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me”.
So here’s to the see you in 11 moths to all the ones back home and pictures of a few!
I Love you all and truly appreciate and cherish all of your love, support and encouragement!
