Here I go!

Hi everyone!

So I'm off to Seamill, Scotland in just a few days! How exciting! It seems unreal to me that this is finally happening. God has been pushing me to go to YWAM for so long now...and I resisted that push for so long that it seems crazy that I finally gave in, and I thank God that I did :) I am so...I suppose the word would be curious about what God has planned for me and all of my fellow classmates while we are there. For those of you who don't know my story, I felt a calling to go to YWAM for about 2 years and kept resisting that call. I made excuses like I needed to finish school and I couldn't risk giving up my job at that time. One day God called me yet again to go to YWAM and that same week I found out that the company I was working for was going out of business. Again, that same week I found out that although I thought I would be able to graduate with my AA in general ed. that semester, I found out I needed additional units and a class no one had informed me I needed in my 2 1/2 years of college. If that isn't God setting me up and no longer taking No for an answer than I don't know what is!
I know that these coming months will be a definite challenge for me. I know that I will get home sick considering I have never been away from my family for more than 2 weeks before. I know that I will be challenging my comfort zone because I am already doing that ;) People have been saying to me how courageous I am for taking this leap...but to be honest I do not feel so courageous. In all honesty I am totally freaking out haha! However the excitement is outweighing the scariness of it all. I have faith that God will guide me and show me amazing things while I am away.
Please everyone pray for me and everyone else at the Seamill base for safe travels and finances! I've said it before, but I get lost very easily so please pray for me! I will be leaving LAX on Friday the 29th and arriving in Scotland on the 30th. I do not yet know where my outreach location is, but once I know I will be sure to tell you :)
God bless all of you! I will write again once I have arrived!
