bit by bit.

One week.

Less than one week now.

This is insane! I can remember in February when I first thought about doing a DTS & soon it will be my reality. I have less than a week at home to say my goodbyes & to finish all of my last minute duties.

Today I had a wonderful day at the park & God put a lot on my heart. I thank Him for that because it keeps me grounded knowing I have so much going on that I NEED prayer & his support. What an awesome God. He'll give us a lot, but not more than we can handle. He also makes everything beautiful in its time... so let's see what God makes of all of this. God grant me total peace.

I will cherish these last days and I cannot wait to begin my own hand written journal. Once I am on the plane, by myself, I believe my creative side will come out and I can journal all of my thoughts. What a plane ride that will be. Who knows what will be going through my head.

I am arriving in Kona two days before my DTS meets. I hope to find some comfort in Hawaii and adjust some before my DTS begins. I think this is a good start for me.

Thank you for reading & finding an interest in my blogging. It means a lot knowing I have loved ones following me & backing up my decision. It is truly comforting knowing I have support and prayer from home.


God's peace be with you this day :)

purchased!

I wanted to share that I just bought my plane ticket and it is a great feeling! I will be leaving on September 28 in the morning so that I can have a full day in Kona before my DTS starts on the 30th. This confirms it.

day by day.

Time is quickly passing by until I leave for YWAM. My DTS begins in less than three weeks! I am extremely excited to leave & meet my team, leaders, and everyone else I will meet arriving in Kona! I have been procrastinating with preparing... I still need to buy my plane ticket, finish getting my shots, and finishing last minute shopping for everything I will need. I hope to find an amazing flight this week so I can officially know my departure date. I've been putting that off because I continue to search for the best deal. A lady at my church has helped me by giving me a number to a lady who has previously helped her buy tickets to Hawaii. I've been talking with her, and she has offered to help me find the best deal. What a blessing!

I have been working so much to save up for this trip. It's so amazing how I was able to work two generous paying jobs this summer. It has been a lot of work, but it has paid off. I have put in my two weeks at both jobs, I am really excited to be able to take some time the last week I am home to spend preparing with God and seeing my loved ones.

I am so grateful for my support here at home. Without my friends and family it would be a lot harder for me. God has given my this opportunity and I cannot wait to start it. This will be the first time I have ever flown alone. It's going to be strange for me since it is a new experience, but I am ready to take on new adventures. I am looking forward to growing in all aspects with my walk of life & faith.

Thank you all for the continual prayer as I prepare for my trip. Please prayer for finances and for my relationships I will be leaving here at home. I want everyone to feel comforted as I know this is something God has planned for me.

Less than three weeks!!!


Peace,
