Two weeks from today I will be packing my backpack into my car and heading to Atlanta, Georgia where I will reunite with my squad mates and AIM staff.
Two. Weeks.
There are so many things running through my mind.
How did these last 10 months of preparation fly by?
Am I really doing this thing?
Why me, Lord? I am not equipped for this big job.
Are our Nicaraguan hosts anxiously awaiting our arrival?
Did I get all of the vaccines I was supposed to?
Will Amazon ship my last minute gear on time?
Is my team/squad ready to live with me for these next 11 months?
Will I have friends at home when I return next year?
Let me tell you, the inside of my brain is like listening to The Flight of the Bumblebee. All of these doubts and questions keep popping into my head but before I can even finish the thought, the Lord stops me and re assures me. He reminds me that I am going on this journey for Him and to spread is love. (still blown away that will be my “job” for the next year!!) I will be along side amazing men and women whom I adore and I am stoked to reunite with them in two short weeks.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude. We have fundraised over $10,000 so far which blows my mind! We are over halfway there and I can’t wait to see how God shows up with the other $9,000. The support and encouraging words I have been getting from people have been amazing and I appreciate everyone so much.
Thank you for keeping up on my journey, this is just the beginning.
**Prayer requests –
- Fundraising as always, I will be fundraising on the field and I need your help back home to spread the word!
- Peace for everyone launching in January, we are leaving everything we know and living in new and uncomfortable situations, this isn’t going to be a cake walk but we are all running towards it with joy!
- Living in the moment with my friends and family for the next 14 days.
- Friends and family that are staying here, this is going to be hard for me to adjust without them but also for them to adjust without me.
