As I was doing my nighttime routine the other night.. I started to feel sad for my kitty (I know, I know) but it’s because I cannot explain to her why I’m leaving her. We live alone together so we are very close and I’m worried that she will think I left her. As I told one of my friends this she said that she did not really understand why I was going.. and others have said how sad it is that I’m leaving. My hope for this trip is to help those around me understand the urge I have to leave in order to give back to God and how wonderful that experience can be. I want to try and help them understand that even though I will not be around I will be doing something important and how that isn’t sad at all.  

I expect to:

Learn about 11 different cultures

Attempt to communicate with 11 different cultures

Share what God has done for me

Spread the Word to those who are in need

Provide hope through communication and prayer

Hopefully change a life

Change my life

Miss my family

Miss spending the holidays with my family

Miss my nephew’s milestones

Miss my friends

Leave my life here

Listen to God

PRAY

Get torn down

Get back up

Be broken

Be healed

I actually do not know what to expect but I know that God will be there to help.

Phil 4:13: I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
