The start of a new adventure

One more week. 

One more week till the Lord takes me to the other side of the world to the busy city of Taipei, Taiwan.  

Sometimes I think to myself "Man this is crazy! I can't believe it's actually happening." But here's the thing, it's not.  Nothing is crazy or hard to believe about it.  Why?  Because God is in complete control.  Why should I even think any of this is crazy when He literally spoke and the earth and everything in it was formed.  When He holds the galaxies and stars in place.  When He keeps our lungs functioning properly so that we can breathe in every breath that keeps us alive. 

So this mission:
Going across the world
To a place i've never been
To love people who don't speak my language
To be spiritually wrecked
To be completely out of my comfort zone
Giving everything to God
Letting Him lead no matter what the cost

and so much more...


This mission, and journey that the Lord planned before my existence is about to start.  I'm so incredibly blessed and excited to see what He has planned and how I will grow.  Every day I am constantly blessed by Him, in all things.  Even those days that don't seem so great, trials are just another HUGE blessing and a time of growth.  Thank you Lord for this incredible opportunity.  



Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."  
                                                                 James 4:13-15



























"Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own.  Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.  But one thing I do: Forgetting what things are behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead.  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
