I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!

Okay, so this is just for the purpose of: 1) testing this blog thing out, and 2) explaining it's purpose. This particular "blog" is going to be used for my experiences serving the people of Asia. :D I'm extremely new to this (I mean the blog scene) so hopefully I'll do everything right. I'm also extremely new to going overseas; in fact, the only time I've been out of the States has been to Juarez, Mexico (right across the border). In other words, this is going to be another incredibly exciting experience, and I thank my Father for how perfectly He plans each and every step. I'm looking forward to seeing Him move mightily in Asia, just as He has been moving to prepare things here in the U.S. Really, it's been crazy amazing to see my family here at home come together to fund this trip - I am thankful for their hearts for His service. I won't be leaving until the end of June, but before then if you'll keep a few things in your thoughts: *my heart and spirit in preparation for this trip - sometimes fear of the unknown creeps in and I am guilty of trying to deal with that by either not thinking about any of it or dwelling on the creepy unknowns... :) *passport complications - somehow the postal service lost my passport so we're trying to find that/have them send another one in the meantime *my family - for peace and comfort, that He would give them hearts and minds for the people of Asia at this time and not hearts and minds that would worry about the distance between us this summer I am thankful for everyone reading this and I am keeping all of you in my thoughts for all of your own experiences this summer! ~resting embraced in Him~
