the beginning

oh sweet friends...i am so excited to finally be able to (officially!) begin this blog and even greater, to begin this journey that the Lord has called me on. it's hard for me to even find the words to say because my emotions are all over the place, but the joy and excitement are greater than all the others! for those of you who don't know, i will be moving overseas in a few weeks and will be there for 3 months. a lot of you who are reading this, know more details (like where i will be and what i'll be doing :) but i am not sure how much i can say at this point (b/c of safety), but i would love to share personally. i can't wait to see what these next three months hold, i know it will be a time of experiencing a brand new culture, a sweet sweet family i can't wait to work alongside, interesting foods, a sweet time of really getting to know my savior and depending ONLY on Him, precious people that i already feel blessed to be given the opportunity to love on, scary at times...but above all i know the one who has ordained this trip, and it is in His perfect timing that all these things have come together. i ask that you would already begin walking along side me in prayer and i am so happy to be able to share this with you..
