One Week!
Its hard to believe that one week from today I will be stepping on a plane to Germany with one bag, my backpack, and my guitar and not returning for the next 2 years, crazy! For those of you that may not yet be aware, I have joined Operation Mobilization and will be living and working on board one of their ships, the Logos Hope. Its been a long process to get me to this point and now that its finally here I have brief moments of panic when thinking about leaving all I know and love to venture into uncharted waters. There are so many unknowns, but then again that's what makes the whole thing that much more adventurous and exciting. I really feel confident that this is where the Lord wants me right now and He has done so many things to bring it all together in a way that only He could do. I pray that I can continue trusting Him to bring me safely to my destination and then wait in anticipation for all that I know He is going to teach me while I'm gone. What an awesome God we serve!

I'm so excited for you, Amanda!! The Lord will do great things for you, I'm sure of it! Can't wait to read of all your adventures and see your pictures! I forgot you're going to be gone for 2 years....that's a looooong time...but it will fly with the Lord by your side!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Amanda i'm sad too see you go but I know God has chosen you to go for a reason and you're going to do amazing at it. Everyone at youth group will miss you and we'll all be praying for you and keeping in touch with you as much as we can. Stay safe and enjoy yourself, two years will fly by and you'll be back before you know it!

Dear Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI would have written sooner but I didn't know how to do the comment thing until Chrissy showed me. Anyway I wanted to share a quote I have from C.H. Mackintosh that I have on my refrigerator. "God ever gives guidance for 2 steps at a time. I must take one step, and then I get light for the next. This keeps the heart in abiding dependence upon God." This is what you are doing right now. Love Aunt Cheryl
