Wow! I am so excited for this amazing opportunity that I can hardly stand it! Although I still have some nerves (and even more new ones regarding my assignment!) I am completely at peace, going forth in confidence as my Lord goes before me. This is His work and I just get to be a part of it! How gracious of Him to use someone so unworthy!
A few prayer requests I have as I prepare to embark on my journey abroad: please pray for a smooth transition into the countries of New Zealand, Australia, and Papua New Guinea (concerning visas, luggage, making flights on time, etc.). Also please pray for my intense fear of snakes (this sounds ridiculous I know but I just recently had a near panic attack about this last night!). Please pray for my complete trust and dependence on the Lord and His sovereignty knowing that whatever happens, it is for my good and His glory. Please pray for the hearts of the people I will be teaching that God would grant them understanding and give them the gift of faith. Finally please pray that I would have a "Mary heart." By that I mean pray that I would not neglect to seek first to sit at the feet of Jesus and that I would not overwhelm myself with busy tasks. Pray that I choose first that which is most important: time with Jesus.
I have been informed that there is a good chance I will not have much access to the internet, so with that said, I will try my best to keep everyone as updated as I can! I ask for your many prayers and I thank you so much for being with me on this journey!
