SO CLOSE!!

it is so close!
EXACTLY 14 days 16 hours and 10 minutes until I step onto that plane! The time seems to have flown by! I cannot wait to see what is going to happen. I just wanted to take some time to thank everyone who helped me get this far! I cannot thank you enough for the support, prayers, and love. I cannot wait to share with you everything that God is going to do!
God is good all the time
and
all the time God is good.


can't wait to see them!!

 "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!"

30 more days!!!!!! ONLY ONE MORE MONTH!!!!!!!

IS THIS REAL?

ONLY ONE MORE MONTH UNTIL I STEP ON THAT PLANE AND INTO THE CALLING OF MY LIFE! I HAVE BEEN GETTING READY FOR THIS TRIP FOR AWHILE NOW, AND I STILL AM! I HAVE PACKED AND REPACKED.....AND STILL AM PACKING! I HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AT SCHOOL WITH THIS LIFE CHANGING EVENT AT THE MOST FOREFRONT OF MY MIND. ONE THING THAT I RECENTLY BEGUN TO DO WAS REREAD THE BOOK CALLED KISSES FROM KATIE BY KATIE DAVIS (I wrote another post about that book here: http://ourgodisbig.blogspot.com/2012/02/kisses-from-katie.html). AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, THIS BOOK AS IMMENSELY HELPED ME WORK THROUGH MY FEELINGS TOWARD A PLACE FILLED WITH BOTH LOVE AND POVERTY.

I ONCE AGAIN HAVE FOUND A QUOTE THAT HELPS ME WITH FEELING THOUGH MY HEART IS NOT IN MY BODY BUT IT'S WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS; WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD WHOLE HEART SINCE JULY 2009. 
"This is the spot on the map where God has asked me to do the things I do--like pour out my heart for children who are hungry or alone, to try to help people lave harmful work and learn skills that will help them care for their families, or to assist women who are struggling to raise their children alone. This is the place where I am supposed to follow Jesus, obey Him, and make my best effort, with His gracious help, to treat people with dignity and care for them unconditionally. To say yes to each and every thing He asks of me, to each person He places in front of me."


SO HERE I AM, ONLY ONE MONTH AWAY FROM STEPPING INTO THE PLACE THAT GOD HAS CREATED FOR ME SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE CERTAIN OF ANYTHING IN MY WHOLE LIFE AND I CANNOT WAIT. 

ONLY ONE MORE MONTH! 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS LOVE AND SUPPORT.
