Though some of you have heard about how everything is going on Facebook, I just wanted to touch base with you guys before we head out tomorrow to continue this already perfect journey. I have been at Toccoa Falls College about two hours away from Atlanta Georgia where I flew into. These 4 days have been extremely challenging, rewarding, and already life changing.
First off, the worship here is unlike anything I have ever experienced and I wish every place I went felt like this! The energy, hundreds of prayers flooding the chapel: AMAZING. We have done some incredible little exercises that have made me grow as a person as well as a team. I have been asking God to show me where he wants me to go because it has already been very clear that missions is His will for my life. He has made it clear that I WILL say Yes to wherever it may be even if I have to leave my family to do so.
We have been talking about surrendering, expectations, speaking to God, and many other things that have opened my eyes to the world. The second day I just prayed that He would give me peace and that He would give me a clear sign of what he wanted me to hear.
There have been so many things that have happened, so many eye openers, and I already know that life when I get back hope will be nothing like before I came. God has a clear plan and over these past few days He has given me sign after sign that this is not just a trip, THIS IS MY LIFE. And though it is a scary thought thinking about giving up the plans that I made for myself, He keeps reminding me that this is His will and not my own. I am confident that if this is His plan, that He will provide, He will lead me, and He will comfort my fear.
I know I have so much more to share with you, but there is not enough time or space to do so. But know that just in these past 4 days that I am so changed, that it is possible that I look different lol. I can’t imagine what Kenya will hold. PTL
I will try to post weekly, until then: Mungu Ibariki (God Bless)
