It's Starting to Become Real

I just left my third meeting with my India group, and things just became so real. We met the people that are going to be in our three person groups--the people we will be spending 24/7 with. Questions were answered, itineraries were given, confirmation numbers with jotted down. Confirmation numbers! I am confirmed to go to India in less than three weeks!

The more and more I spend time in the word and the more and more I seek God, the more and more I'm starting to realize this isn't just a trip. This is something way bigger than I could have ever imagined. This is a turning point in my life. I know I'm going to return with more than just amazing stories and beautiful pictures. I still have a huge feeling in my heart that I'm meant to do long-term missions.

I don't want to jump the gun, but I want to put it out there as a prayer. This is what I feel in my heart to be true, and if that is truly what God has in mind for my future, may I be receptive to every opportunity He puts in my path to get there sooner rather than later. Please continue to pray for me--for the courage to get in front of a 70+ person audience, for the strength to be open and receptive to whatever is thrown my way, and for the funds still needed to complete my goal.

I love you all and am so very thankful for the continual prayers and funds that you have provided for me. 19 days to go!

Love and light.

And the countdown for India begins...

Website Countdowns

In 28 days, I will be carrying out a lifelong dream--I'll be boarding a plane to India for an incredible 9-day mission trip.

The process has been a roller coaster of emotions though. I feel like I'm definitely being prepped for something big. I'm the kind of person that gets easily distracted, and I know God is pushing aside all the people and things that would/could be a distraction in my life. For the first time in a long time, my free time goes to God and prepping for this trip. I feel an awesome calmness about it all.

My biggest fear going into this trip is public speaking--like 75 percent of people, I'm find myself being scared and nervous to share the word of God in front of 30-75 people. So my biggest prayer is for God to speak through me. All the words I share during this mission, may they be guided by God.

28 days and about 60 percent into the total amount of funds that I need. That's where ya'll come in. A handful of you guys expressed an interest in contributing to this cause, but haven't had the chance to yet. I still do very much need your help to get me to my goal. Donate here if you still feel in your hearts that it's what you need to do. Anything helps! Thank you all in advance. 

Love and light.
