As we get closer to our departure...

Well, Emma and I are pretty much the only ones left in our grade still home, so our adventure is starting to feel more real! It is definitely weird being home while everyone else is starting their lives in college, and to be completely honest it's been surprisingly a little hard.

Our friends are starting this next step into adulthood that everyone seems to say is "the best years of your life" and we are just here...waiting. I've actually have found myself multiple times scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter and thinking, "Wow I wish I was starting college" or "I wish I was decorating crafts for my dorm" or even "Wish I was starting classes and learning new things." But then He reminds me, of His plan or encourages me with a returned support letter, or even brings to me an old friend to tell me about their last mission trip that worked with human trafficking. Random things like those, every time, He reminds me that He has a specific calling for me and that I said "yes" to it.

Something I have been celebrating recently is the people I still get to hang out with at home! They have loved on me during my struggle to be patient and they have encouraged me as I prepare. I don't know what I would do with these people and for that I am so grateful!


Prayer Requests: As we wait, we still have last minute details to figure out and we would really appreciate prayer for all of them as well as prayer for Spiritual protection. Satan is obviously trying to put doubts in out minds before we have even left and in no way do I want to fall into his traps.

Thank you all! Your support means the world! :)

43 more days till we fly out. I can't wait!
