Excitement

So time is coming near to leave, and I am very excited about it. Excited about so many things that are coming: new culture, new friends, new language, new food, new time (lol), new weather, new adventures. There is something else though: the work God is going to do in my own life and others around me. I really feel like God is going to do so much in my life in this next season coming up. It won't be easy, but it is going to be so worth it. Taking me to a whole new level with God. Stripping me of myself, but enjoying myself and God. Breaking me down, but building me up in Christ. Blotting out sin, and replacing it with God. A whole new level of dependency on God. I am so excited. God is taking care of me. There are no worries, nothing to be anxious about. God (that same God is the God of the universe, creator) said go.....He isn't just going to send me out and not be there. 

At the same time, I still need your prayers:
That support does come in, all of the money I need. 
That I am walking in humility and that God is working in my life
That I am God's tool, and that He uses me day in and out
This is kinda of an early prayer request, but for God's direction. I felt like the right thing to do was to buy a one way ticket. To be flexible and ready for what God has to say. Also with the way things are looking at home (packing up my room because my mom is moving), just really emphasizes this is a new season in my life. 

I have lived out of a bag almost my whole life. Switching houses, for 9 years every three days, with one set of clothes between two houses and then the last 3 years switching every friday. Sounds kinda depressing? Nah. I can see how God has used that in my life because it is so easy for me to get up and go, to be ready, and to live out of a bag and be happy while doing it. Ready to be used by God at any time and any where. Does not seem like to many people are like that. 

I want to be God's tool. Ready and willing for wherever He wants to take me, wether to the other side of the planet or right down the street. 

This was kinda long. Good night!
