The anticipation is building...

So many thoughts, so little words. As the trip nears, almost a week away, I have many thoughts in my heart! Mostly thoughts of excitement and expectancy! I am so excited to see what God is going to do on this trip and I'm very expectant that something beyond my wildest dreams will happen. But if I'm honest, my nerves may be going crazy too. I've never traveled this far by myself, I've always had a team of crazy hooligans (or AweStar family) :) to be with. No relying on MOM and POP counts to make sure everyone is there. No going "exploring" in groups of 4. And no one to wake me up on the plane when it's time to eat! :) ha! But, I know I'm not traveling alone. Joshua 1:9 says "have I not commanded you? Do not be afraid for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go!" I know that God has called me to go. I confidently believe that God has called me back to love on people who have stolen His heart, and mine. I know that God has commanded me to go. So as I prepare, I fight the nerves, I let God silence the doubts and the worries, and I rest knowing that I have the Best Friend to experience this adventure with! God will and is with me every step of the way and I couldn't ask for anything else! He makes it all worth it no matter what the outcome is! :)
