Hey guys! I wanted to do a quick blog before i set off. Three more sleeps til i set off for training then to Central America! Packing is coming along nicley as it can for an disorganized person like me. The excitement and anticipation is setting in, while also having to say the goodbyes i’ve been dreading.
It’s bitter sweet to have so many hard goodbyes, in the sense I was so blessed to have so many sweet souls to part with. It’s been difficult for me to leave what I know and those I love dearly.
I found peace in that the Lord says ‘But whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.’ Luke 9:14. He declares the disciples to pick up there cross and follow Him. I want to pick up my cross daily and follow Him. A big part of love is sacrifice, God never said it would be easy. He said He would beside me the whole way. I know what i’m leaving behind is precious to me but I know the sacrifices will lead me closer to the Lords plan for me. I want to thank everyone that made this possible! I wouldn’t be able to do this with out you guys!
‘To live is Christ, to die is gain’ Philippians 1:21

Sweet Mercy, I’ve often thought of Peter who got out of the boat to walk on the water. You are exemplifying that kind of faith. Keep your eyes on Jesus! May He cover you with His protection. We are sure He has called you by name. Love always,
