I had the opportunity to speak at my hometown church today. What a great experience. I never realize the amount of support I really have until I go back there. All of us want to hear that people are proud of us. From these people, it feels great.
God has put so many people in my life as I've grown up. Some of them helped me to grow by being honest even when I didn't want to hear their honesty, some of them were a constant source of positivity, and so many more served as educators to me. To all of you that fall into one of these categories, thank you.
One of my future roommates reminded me this weekend that we have three weeks here in the states. Though there are a lot of nerves and apprehension with leaving behind my friends and family, I find myself looking forward to the work the Lord has for us. I really have no idea exactly what God has planned for the next year, but I can't wait to find out.
As we get ready to leave, I want to put out a special prayer request. Megan is going on a mission trip with the youth in her congregation, and I'm sure Andrea has a ton of things to do before we leave August 17th. Please keep each of us in your prayers as we get ready for our mission. Preparation can often be the biggest source of nerves, pray that we constantly have the Goal in mind; to serve Him.
