T Minus 13 Hours

The bags are packed! We have 13 hours until we hit the road for the airport, heading off for Thailand. It is unbelievable to think that three months ago I was writing my first blog post talking about my feelings before the lecture phase. In a way, it went by very slowly. However, in retrospect it was gone in a flash.

The absolute biggest thing I learned in the three month lecture phase is that God conquers all. We all had to seriously take a look at ourselves and work out our issues. While at the same time learning everything we possibly could about God, His character, His word, and His will. We asked and expected much of Him, and He never once failed to deliver. I came into this not knowing what to expect, and am coming out a completely different person than I started. God conquered every problem I came to Him with, and I have learned more about Him in three months than I ever thought I would learn in my whole life. I can honestly say that these last three months have been the most pivotal and revolutionary months of my life.

That being said, our team is now ready to go out and bring light to dark places! We are the city on a hill that cannot be hidden, a lamp that will not be put out. We have an itinerary for our trip, but at the same time we have no idea what to expect. What we do know is that God moves in extraordinary ways, and we are going to be spending way too much time together. We are ready as we can be, but most likely not prepared at all. This is a big trip with lots of surprises, so it will be 8 weeks (6 for Seth and I!) of rolling with the punches and being super flexible.

Thank you so much for all of your support! Next time you hear from me, I will be in Thailand! Love you all!
