im heading to louisville then to poland...

heres my thoughts.. have a good summer and God bless

So I’m sitting here in my house, the day before I leave to go to Louisville. From Louisville I fly to Chicago and from there to Munich and on to Wroclaw, Poland. I have to go up to Louisville a day early because I am flying out at 1 PM on Monday and it’s a four hour drive from here to the middle of Kentucky. Yet here I sit on the eve of what could be one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I do not know what to expect except that God will move. When God moves, the world changes. I know my world will change. I don’t know how, but I know that God will impact me in ways I can only dream of.

Up to this point in my life I can’t say for sure if I have made a step of faith this large. The words of the prophet Isaiah come to my mind, words that I have heard my entire life. “Here am I Lord, send me.”

I hope with all of my heart that I can say these words in honesty. I don’t know my true motives for participating in this part of the Lord’s work. Yet I desire so passionately to go: to see the world, to love His people, to grow His kingdom, to serve Him in all I do. I have learned recently of people I went to school with falling into so many different pitfalls. My heart aches and I pray earnestly that God will use me as His vessel to spark a revival in peoples’ lives. I may never see the fruit of my life. I may never see how God’s working in me inspires others to a closer walker with Him but this I do know: God is in control and His will will be accomplished.

I love my friends and my family so much. Without them I would never be where I am at today. I love my dad more than he may ever know. I desire that he know that my love for him is deeply rooted in the love that is Christ. I am practically estranged from him, yet whenever I see a picture of him my soul aches within me. I thank God for my mom, my grandmother and all of my precious friends.

I don’t know what I will experience on this adventure that is unfolding in front of me. My faith is in my God. He is my truth, my life, and my Guide on my life’s path.

"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death." -Philippians 1:20

May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus the Christ be with you and I’ll see you all in August!
