So the other night I had another night where I stayed up really late thinking about everything that could go wrong or go right with this trip. At the moment the biggest concern is the fact I have like $6,000 I need to go on this trip and I don't know where it's going to come from. I am working many, many hours at chick-fil-a and really trying to cut back on urges to buy really cute clothes but still it all seems very scary. Like real scary! But I have to trust and believe that God is really in control of everything. Even $6,000 of money that I don't have.
And now, here is my deep, spiritual thought of the day: in bible study we were talking about Hebrews 1 focusing on the idea of who Jesus is in our lives. The Bible tells us He is God's Son and ruler and glorious and all of these wonderful things but who is He to us? Which makes you begin to think about, where would I be without Him in my life? I know one thing is for certain, I would not be leaving the country for 6 months with a group of people I've never met to go to places I've never been and serve more people I've never met. I mean that whole thing seems ridiculous! But that's exactly what I am doing. Because Jesus is a part of my life. In my life, Jesus is also the confidence boost I need to do something insane! And I love it!!
Today (September 5th) marks 129 days away from me leaving!
