So today August 15th marks 150 days until I leave for my trip!! Which is why the fireworks seemed completely necessary. It's kind of crazy to think about though. When I think about it like this is August and I'm leaving in January, it doesn't seem that far away. But when I think about it in terms of numbers, 150 days does not seem like a lot of time! It seems scary! It's all becoming super real. I was talking to an old Sunday school teacher Mrs. Lori, who I love and cherish, about how I don't doubt that this is where I am supposed to be but at the same time I don't feel ready for everything. She reminded me that God doesn't pick people to do things because they have prepared and are ready. If that was the case, nothing would be done because no one can be truly ready for something like this. He just tells us to trust Him! It's like a "ready or not, here you go" thing. Until then, I am looking forward to October when I get to start connecting with the people who I will be traveling with which I am so excited about.
I also have been recently overwhelmed by the amount of generosity that people keep sending my way. Yes, I do still have a long way to go but I know God will provide it. He is faithful to us when we choose to follow Him and I am definitely feeling that. If you have donated to me, this is my thank you shout out to you! It really is a huge blessing. Again, if you would like to donate, there is a link on the left side of the page. Donations sent through the Experience Mission website do have tax benefits.
I have decided to follow Jesus, NO TURNING BACK!!
