Departing

As most of you may know by now, within the next couple weeks, I am heading out to Kona, Hawaii for roughly six months for a school called YWAM (youth with a mission). It is crazy to think that the time is almost here for me to depart. As I think about all the things I need to do and all of the finances I need to raise, I am comforted by the fact that I know this is what I am supposed to be doing. This fact also gets me so stoked for new adventures and lessons to be learned along the way.

I feel like I have been specifically tested these past few weeks with the idea of fear and worry. There is no need for me to worry or fear when knowing that I am in God's will. But I feel also that the devil tries to find any sort of foothold to try and prevent the work of God from being carried out. One thing I look forward to as well is the fact of going to Hawaii with no worries or the idea of nothing to hold on to while I am out there. This especially is what I feel like is also being attacked. So many things have come up these past couple days/weeks that just seems like the worst timing. New friendships, my family being home, work and the family I have connected with there, and others. All these things seem to have caught my attention more so now than before, but I believe that again, if this is what I am supposed to do, that this must be the devil trying to drop my guard. Yet, I am satisfied in knowing that my God is bigger, and my next step in life is to attend this school and experience Him like I never have before.

I am going to miss you guys, but I know that I will see you again and that I will have stories to share. Thanks for all your prayers and support. I look forward to hear stories about what is happening back where you are too! Well...tune in. Peace!
