Nicaragua

I can't believe that in 5 months I will be in Nicaragua! Am I scared out of my mind? Yes, but lately I have been feeling more at peace about everything. The power is prayer is AMAZING. This time right now seems weird because all my friends are moving to college soon. I just have to remind myself/pray that God has placed me on a different path.  I have heard the song "Trust and Obey" a lot at church the past couple of weeks. I feel that this song is God speaking to me reminding me to trust and obey HIS will for my life and not mine. He is going to use this four months to do immeasurably more than all I could EVER ask or imagine. I'm excited to see what he has in store!
As far as planning goes, I have sent my support letters out and will be purchasing my plane ticket soon (they are pretty cheap right now). I know that God will provide the money, but the amount I need to raise seems scary. AND, with God ANYTHING is possible. 
A lot of people have asked: "What are you doing until you leave?" The answer to that question is: continuing to work at the doctor's office scanning records and doing whatever they need me to. I am also babysitting 2 kids about 20 hours a week. I am so excited to start working with them! I'm so thankful for the passion that God has placed in my heart to work with kids. 
I have also had a lot of people ask, "What are you doing when you get back?" Lets just say: I don't know what the future holds, but I know WHO holds the future. I know that in HIS time he will reveal the next step to me. To be honest, I haven't really thought about it yet because I know God WILL provide. 

Thank You for all the prayers and support this far! It means a lot to me. 
Go out and be a blessing!!

Love,
