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!!!:)
