Thank you, thank you, thank you! For anyone who is reading this blog right now, to anyone who has been praying for me, who has supported me, or believed in me. I can not believe tomorrow I am leaving- it feels so surreal. It's just like yesterday when God gave me this crazy idea to go on a 9 month long missions trip, and I was at this website reading and reading the blogs from last years team…and now HERE I AM.
When God brings change it means He is moving us out of something that has been comfortable into something new that will cause our faith to grow, our hearts to be purified & our vision to be broadened.
I am so excited for this experience, and what God will do through my team and I! I had an amazing time in Georgia last month at the training camp where I met everyone I am going with, & honestly I could NOT ask for a better team! Together, sleeping in tents, being in humid hot muggy Georgia, getting rained on, eating mushy rice, prayers, team building. I could not believe how close we all grew in just one week! &
That is just the beginning.:)

I LEAVE TOMORROW!!! Everything is packed. I was definitely surprised that I can fit all I need to live off of in one backpack. It makes me realize how in this country we are always thinking we are needing more, when really we "need" a lot less than we think:)
I can not wait to be reunited with my team, and be a representative of Jesus Christ to these countries! To pour out all the love he has given me..to give to them! What a blessing it is for me to do this.
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in him. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. 1 John 4:16-17
I will miss soo much Jason & Virginia ( The wonderful couple I have lived with for 14 months) They have done for me-more than words can say & I can not be more thankful.They are my family. Love You guys!
And to all my incredibly beautiful wonderful friends, co-workers, my church, and of course my 3 dogs!!!:)
Feel free to e-mail me, and I will try and respond as much as I can, as well as keeping you guys posted on here:)
THANK YOU AND LOVE YOU!

Wow! I can’t believe this day is here either!! I miss you so much already!!! I’m a mess today!=( We are so proud of you with everything you’ve accomplished this past year! You are an amazing girl! Praise God=) for what He’s doing in your life. Love you NayNay!!
I could not believe what PJ (Patrick) was telling me yesterday! I had tears of joy to hear you know Jesus and now you are serving HIM! Now I’ve read it with my own eyes. This is just to encourage you and it greatly encourages me that He answered my prayers for one of Cindy’s children to be saved. You came to our house when you were just a toddler for about 2 weeks and I prayed for you then and throughout the years. I am beyond words about how much He loves us. Someone was praying for you since you were a baby and you didn’t even know it, isn’t He awesome! I will be praying for you while you are on your missions trip…I couldn’t be prouder of you!
He first loved us…Marge
i love you naynay and am oraying for you keep up the good work
This is God’s divine timing in your life Naynay to draw closer to Him by reducing the world and serving others. I’m so proud of you!! Serve Jesus well and love Him more through this wonderful experience. Rainbow Church is praying you continually!
