Just wanted to share last minute details with you. I’m leaving for Phoenix this Monday (March 30th) to begin my missionary journey. The time has finally come and I am so ready. It has been an emotional week of saying good byes. I think one of the hardest things will be making new friends who know me inside and out. It’s hard to start over in that way but I think it will also come with huge blessings.
I want to thank all those who have encouraged and supported me during this fundraising season. I’m at about 94% raised which is great for what I need right now.
A really amazing story for you:
I went to get my oil changed for the 33 hour trip to Phoenix (we are taking hotels in the nights-don’t worry).
But I found out that I had to get new brakes put on the front of my car. It was about $200. As you know moving your life is not cheap and I’m working within a budget. When I found out I prayed about it and actually surrendered it to the Lord. There was a moment of victory where I really felt God saying, “I really am going to provide for ALL your needs. Do you believe me?”. I really did believe and trust and went in this morning and dropped off my car. When I came back to pick it up I laid the money down on the counter and Jim Masella pushed it back to me and said, “someone came in and anonymously paid your bill”. I was in awe of God and a little speechless. I said thanks and got back in my car. As I drove off a song was playing these words, “Greater things are yet to come”. I had to pull over as I was overcome with worship of God and how I felt him saying, “this is just the tip of the iceburg for you”. He is our safe place and he trully is my best friend and security.
Please pray that I hold onto him when it gets hard in these next few weeks. Also, pray for safety and a smooth trip (i.e. we don’t get lost, the topper stays on and nothing breaks:).
