Well, the news is out! Or it will be by this time tomorrow at least!
The secret that I have been holding on to for over a month now, is that I will be taking 2 months in the fall of 2013 to go to Africa and do mission work.
I am so incredibly excited!
I will be telling the youth tomorrow night, but just told our session tonight. I was (and still am) overwhelmed by their support! Not only are they letting me go, knowing that I will be returning to a job, but they want to support me on the journey as well. They want to send me as a part of the church, meaning that they want to be involved. I just can't believe it! I never expected that. I almost began to cry. Nerves kind of took over me as I told them the news, and it was a little embarrassing as it was a "shaky voice" moment, on a day that I have little voice. But they were ecstatic! Maybe even as excited as I am!
Now I take the next step.
I am praying that God will show me where He wants me to go. This is a big faith journey, and I'm just stepping out, praying that God leads the way. Looking back on the last few months, I can see how He's been putting this all together, so I know that wherever I end up, it will be His plan, and His guidance leading me there.
I'm a bit tired and flaky from all of my cold meds, so I'm going to leave it at that. But I will tell the rest of the story soon!
