Getting Ready

I'm in route to Grenada. I'm about to partake in the craziest plan I've yet to formulate and will most likely be the defining moment of my college career. As the wheels took off from Portland I began to think why I'm doing this. Officially I'm doing this to fulfill a practicum requirement for my missions program, or at least that's the reason I give people. But I'm doing this for so much more than that. First of all I'm doing this to fulfill something much greater; the call on my life. God said, "Will you follow me? Will you give up some things for me? Will you do something that you're not comfortable with? Will you love my people? No matter where they are? Will you trust me?"

YES

I have high expectations for this trip. I expect to laugh, love, cry, pray, dance, and sing. I expect to be out of my comfort zone at all times. I expect to have no comprehension of what a comfort zone is when I return in December. I expect the Lord to move in ways I never imagined. I expect to be surprised at the strength the Lord has given me and I expect to constantly live in an ocean of grace.

I really have no idea what I'm doing but I have every idea of who I serve.
