The Day Before Take Off

Well we finished our shopping and now all we can do is wait. Wait for everything God is going to do in our lives in the next 6 weeks; wait for all the mistakes we will make and all the success hopefully to come; wait to see lives changed and God up close and personal; but first wait for our take off. I've held all my feelings inside for the past month and I've tried to just trust God to take all the fear, worry, anxiety, and stress away and fill me with peace....and unsurprisingly that's exactly what He has done. He never fails to give me that peace when I need it the most. Yes I'm scared...to death....but I know for a fact that God is with me wherever I go and that even though I am scared and even though I'm going to an unknown place for a long time, He is still guiding my every step and knows exactly what is going to happen down to the next move I make. I am so extremely excited about all the things that we are going to be doing. Matt told me today that I might (most likely) be a camp counselor for the 4 days at the english camp. I was SO happy! Just pray that works out and that I can be a real example for the kids I'll be with. Both Beth and I are nervous about the flight because of motion sickness and a little worried about not being able to stay at the same houses but its going to work out and we are going to learn a lot from it. I just want to before I say goodbye, thank all of you who have never stopped praying for me from the first time I mentioned Japan and who have done everything in your power to help me get to this point. You know who you are and I love you guys! I can't wait to see what God is going to do in my life and in the lives of my team members and also in your lives while I'm gone! HE IS FAITHFUL!!!
God Bless! Have an awesome summer and don't forget to pray :)
