So this dear friends and family is my last blog till I leave the country on Friday morning. Our team and squad is preparing to leave for Dominican in a few days. WOW time flies.
As I sit here getting ready to fly to Miami tomorrow morning I have fears, doubts, excitement and many thoughts in my head. I was reading a devotional the other day and was reminded that fear is not from God. God wants to be invited into every room of our house. Whenever you are worried, that means Jesus isn`t in that room because when Jesus walks into the room there is peace. I was thinking of that peace as I was starting to get butterflies in my stomach and thinking of the many fears I have. With Christ everything is possible.

As I start this journey I think sometimes that I am not ready spiritually for what is ahead. I often ask if I am a good enough Christian to do missions. I know you don`t have to be a perfect Christian to be a missionary but sometimes I look at my own life and question it. I don`t pray enough, read his word enough etc. I am reminded it is not by our good works and deeds that God loves and accepts us but by how we live our life for him.
I pray that my journey into the unknown may inspire you and bring you to some new understanding of God`s love for us. I am just beginning and can`t wait to see how God changes and molds me in the 11 months to come:)
Thank you to all my supporters through prayer and finances. I couldn`t do this journey without you!!!
Stay tuned for the next post from DR!!!
