I absolutely cannot believe that tomorrow I will be driving down to Gainesville to start training camp and in a week we will be heading to Mexico. It’s crazy. I’ve been anticipating this day for so long, and it feels weird that it’s actually here. Honestly, I can’t put into words how excited I am. I know for sure that this is where God called me to be this year. I can’t wait to finally meet the team and get started. But there is a part of me that hurts today. Leaving behind my friends, family, and the familiar is hard. There are people here that I love, and to leave kills me inside. And yet, it’s worth it. If we want to be a true disciple, it will cost us everything. If I want to passionately go after Jesus and what His dreams are for my life, I must be willing to put everything I care about aside in order to run after Him. It’s not easy, and I don’t like that. But it’s so worth it, and that give me hope and excites me. God is so faithful. He has gotten me up to this point, and to question whether or not He will be with me the rest of the way would be crazy. This adventure is just about to get started, and I can’t even begin to imagine what it will be like. So, I guess this is it for now. My next blog will be written from Matamoros, Mexico!
To everyone who has supported my financially or in prayer – thank you SO MUCH. You have no idea how much you have blessed and encouraged me. To my friends – I love you all more than you know. Please don’t forget about me, because I know I won’t forget about you. Write to me a lot, and I’ll definately be writing you as well. Please be safe, have a great year, let me know how everything’s going (because I definately want to know), and keep in touch. I’ll see you all at Christmas!
Ephesians 3:20, 21 – Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
