Anyone who knows me will tell you I don’t say “goodbye”, so with only 11 days until I leave for Georgia I’ve had some problems. What is the best way to tell close friends and family “I’ll message you as much as I can” but I don’t know how often that will be, and “I’ll be back soon” but soon means 11mo later? In fact, most of the questions people have for me lead to the same answer, “I don’t know”. Now if that was the case even a year ago I would have been a mess. I’ve always liked to at least know what that there’s a general plan for what I’m doing, but in the last year God has really challenged me in that. Over and over again in my daily studies the same verses would come up, Philippians 4:6, Hebrews 13:6, Psalms 34:4, and Matthew 6:34. Every verse that came up would talk about peace or casting all worries away. And let me tell you brothers and sisters, a calmness has covered me that can only come from the Lord. There is no worry in my mind of where we will go or stay, no worries over who we will work with, no worries about the virus still prevalent in our world. Answering questions with “I don’t know” now includes a smile, because I may not know, but God’s got this. So I won’t tell those I love “goodbye” before I leave, I’m just saying my “see ya laters”

Let’s just say I am not very good at even writing a comment back to you. The other day when I read your blog I read it with tears streaming down my face with a smile on my face at the same time! From the moment I heard you were going on this trip I knew you had truely been called to do this. You had this yes I’m going but at the same time I’m not sure what is happening right now quiver in your voice. It has been so amazing watch you work to raise ever bit of your money for your trip while running a new dance studio, continuing your education, and holding down a full time job all at the same time. You have grown so very much in this last year! I am so amazed at you and how God is going to use you while on this trip! Enjoy yourself! See you real soon!
