One more month!


One more month and I will be:
jumping up and down in excitment
freaking out
flying internationally
eating new foods
speaking words I never knew existed
learning a new culture
the Lords hands, heart and feet
loving little orphan's
living out my dream
trusting in the Lord to direct me more than ever
In one month I will be jumping, freaking, flying, eating, speaking, learning, being, loving, living and above all trusting! In one month I will be in AFRICA! Now these are my predictions as to what I will be doing; I obviously can't tell the future, but knowing myself this will be a lot of what I will be doing!
Currently, I have recieved all the support I needed for the trip! Thank you all so incredibly much for helping me out! I know that many of you wish you were me and because of that I am going to try to keep you all updated as to the who, what, when and where of the trip. I will be updating this as much as needed or wanted! I will be taking off for Texas training on September 2nd from the Cities.
SIDENOTE: As some of you know and are probably thinking this is 5 days before Hillary's (my younger sister) birthday. I don't know what I was thinking when I planned the departure date...HOPEFULLY she will forgive me!
Then after some training at the base in Frisco, I will take off for Africa on the 4th! After that I really don't know the rest of the schedule, when I get there I will tell you more!
Thanks again for your prayers!

Wow, you must be very excited! If I understand the timing, you will be leaving to start your training in just a week and a half. It is wonderful to see young adults who are eager to be led by the Lord. To hear His calling and step out in faith to see where He leads. May you look to Him always for the joy that only He can bring. I could not tell from your picture where you were pointing. Where in Africa are you going to? Our missions leaders at our church are sending 5 of us on October 10th to Malawi to encourage the pastors we support there. Two of them are a 16 and 17 year old young men who want to see first hand how God is at work on the other side of the world. We need more of you who are not afraid of being vessels that Jesus can use to as He sees fit. Keep your eyes on our savior Jesus!
