The Journey Begins!

It seems like only yesterday I was in Romania on a two-week mission trip with my church. Coming home was the hardest thing to do, but going back seems even harder. To leave all that God has given me to go do His will is something I so long to do, but I am scared to leave everything that He has given me, and go. But then I remember that God has only lent me these things, and that He can take them back at anytime. Just like when a friend lets you borrow their thing, they will want it back. My heart is not ready to leave. I have made friends this past year that will stay with me for a long while. One in particular will be in my heart forever. I long to see her come to fully understand what God has done for her. I have seen the work of God in her life over the past month. How He and only He can melt a heart of stone. She has taught me so much about God and she doesn’t realize it. I don’t know how I will manage with out her. I leave tomorrow at 5p.m. and I will get there at about 5p.m. on the 25th. I will be in Romania for about eight months. I look forward to seeing how God will use me while I am there.

Please pray for me! That God would give me strength to go and that he would keep my faith strong even on the worst day. Also that God would open doors for when I get there. Also pray for the Romanian people that God Would start working in their hearts and softening them, so that they will be more receptive to the Word of God. and the idea of a personal relationship with Him.
