13. Move to China for at least six Months to work with an orphanage…. WHAT????
Yep…Apparently I am off to China in little over a week. How this happened, I’m still not quite sure. I came home expecting to get a job, save up some money, and THEN get involved with more missions related stuff. Well, I guess my plans didn’t quite line up with Gods because now something way COOLER is about to happen.
I’m not sure what God has planned for me in this next season but I do know it involves about 58 special needs children at an orphanage in China. Like I said, I’m not sure how I got here…It has been quite the whirlwind. I mean…I just got home. 3 Months ago to be exact. What about Christmas? Stuffed Ham? (Sorry, you don’t know what that is unless you’re from the County). Getting a “real” job? You know, living the typical "American" life.
I don’t know. I just know God was shutting a ton of doors but finally opened a window. A wide open window. With Arrows pointing in that direction. 🙂 To be perfectly honest, I am nervous about this but at the same time… really excited to see what God has in store for me. So, Please be praying for me. For strength and protection while I am there. Please pray for safe travel and that I don't have problems entering the country. Lastly, Please pray for the hearts of the people I will be able to interact with.
