I've been staring at this screen for quite some time now, not knowing what exactly to write down here. I am currently sitting in a hotel in Atlanta with my whole squad. My body, mind and heart are experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. It's like I almost feel numb. One second I am so excited and jumping around and literally the next second I find myself on my knees sobbing. My heart is in pieces as I am more than confident that this is exactly where the Lord has me, yet at the same time leaving everything….everything behind is overwhelming. The time is finally here. I said yes to this trip in December of 2012….and now it is actually here! It's easy to be overwhelmed and sad. But as I was walking onto the plane I'd never felt so close to the Father. He held my hand. He said "you are free…you are free…you are free… you are mine! you are mine! I love you and am so proud of you. just come away with me!" I am at much peace, when I allow the Father to love me. I'm leaving everything that I love behind from my very best friends, to my family, to the comforts of life….yet in reality…I'm not actually losing anything because I am Gaining EVERYTHING!! I am learning to walk in the fullness of my being because of what Jesus Christ has done! I am learning to rest in His presence and walk in Him in all I do! To only be satisfied in Him. He alone is enough! He is my everything! So, I will joyfully lay it all down in order to gain only Jesus! It's only the beginning…

Thank you to all have supported me and loved me through this time of growing and letting go! haha I am so blessed and beyond thankful! I will be sure to update whenever we land in Honduras which will be September 10. Our squad is stayin in ATL for 3 days to prep again before we head out!! God is so good!! Keep praying in the spirit for us! 

Until next time!
