Hello! this is my blog in which i will be posting on for my missions trip! I am going to YWAM's (Youth With A Mission) base in Brisbane, Australia for 3 months where i will be doing my Discipleship Training and then from there going to another country and doing a missions trip for another 3 months. I can not even begin to tell you how excited i am for this adventure that God is giving me! if i tried to put my excitement into words it would probably come out a little like this "WWWWEEEEEE!!!!!VNDOAHDLNSRJSLVS!!!!!!!!!!!!" if you know me really well you are probably(hopefully) chuckling to yourself because i was able to so accurately desribe it.
Currently, my status with this trip is all preparation and a LOT of fundraising! It has proven very challenging so far and i know that God and God alone is going to get me through this. i figured that out in the application progress because every step of the way was some obnoxious battle or work to just get my application in fully! Now its about disciplining myself to get the things and paperwork done! this has proven to be especially challenging for me because my coping mechanism for overwhelming things is just to ignore it and pretend like its not there. naturally, that is not a good way to try and go about things when it comes to leaving the country. oh well, i am learning at least!
I think that the fact that i will be LIVING IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, not being able to speak or see my friends and family, being away from everything i know, and BEING USED BY GOD in ways that i never even knew imaginable - all those things havent really hit me yet... I am so focused on getting everything together and getting the money that i need in that i have not given myself the chance to thoroughly freak out and scream my excitement yet. (the freaking out/ dancing around/ screaming for joy is all apart of it hitting me).
My goal and desires for this trip is that my goal and desires match the Lords. that in every part of this adventure; everything i learn and every person i meet is glorifying to my Lord Jesus Christ. i want to worship Him through every second of this and really learn who it is He has made me to be and how i can use that for Hsis glory. my God is AMAZING!!!!!!!! i just know that this entire trip is going to be one gigantic YAY GOD moment!!!!!
That is where i am at as of now with all this stuff!!!! i promise, the more i blog the more i will become blog savvy. I would like to think that i will be able to fill my blogs with fascinating stories and convicting thoughts, but i am all over the place. I forewarn you; if i am super excited about something then it may come out a little confusing and exuberant. I invite you to follow my blog and see what our God is doing in my life and over seas! Prayer is always appreciated so please be praying! and feel free to contact me over facebook and/or skype, i would love to keep in touch!
