The time has come. This move is still unreal to me, but as the "goodbyes" begin and all the "lasts" start, I'm feeling the gravity of my decision. I'm excited. I'm overwhelmed with joy of what God has in store in South Africa. I have a peace that surpasses all knowledge, but I also know a hole in my heart is starting to form. This hole is your absence. This hole is my family, my friends, my supporters, my co-workers, my fellow students, my home, and my small town. God is the Lord of my heart though. I know He will fill my heart with His love and soon enough I will have a new family, new friends, new supporters and new fellow students who will love me the way you all have loved me. I want to sincerely thank you for loving and caring for me in all the ways that you have. You have forever impacted my life for the good.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
This month has been full of traveling, preparing, packing, cleaning, and lots of laughing. I have new eyes that are telling me to soak in every moment that I have left. I've spent lots of time with family and friends, worked my 2 weeks at McDonalds, spent Christmas time with lots of family members, visisted family in Florida, and went on my last youth group trip! This month has been busy but very fulfilling.
I am officially the president of my own non-profit organization, "The African Adventure" which will enable people to give tax deductable donations or monthly amounts. God has truly opened heaven and poured out His blessings on me. I'm amazed by Him and the people who have been obedient to what He has asked them to give or do. I'm still in need of month supporters who will commit to me though. It's as simple as praying for me and giving 25 dollars monthly, which will fund my schooling, basic necessities, and ministry. I'm just asking you to pray about it and either way God will provide in His own way. You can respond to this e-mail if you are interested in sponsoring me or have any questions about it!
