I like adventure. taking a trip somewhere into the unknown and not knowing all of the details can either be terrifying [I have been there!] or it can be electrifying. exciting. beautiful.
if you know me, you know that I went to Thailand this summer with a group! but guess what? I am hopefully going to take another trip this summer [so random!] to a new and beautiful place. somewhere I have never been! to the beautiful place of Kazakhstan to help teach English with a friend who has already been over there for a little while! I am so excited. the funny thing is that I am completely open and ok with staying home for the summer and working. or doing whatever else I am supposed to do. but what makes me so excited beyond anything else is that is is ordained by God for me to go and it will all work out. it will because everything has [always] worked out before for every other single trip I have gone on.so I am excited. this is a time of faith and preparation in my heart. a favorite quote of mine is one from Corrie Ten Boom: "Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the [perfect] preparation for a future [only] He can see."
how amazing is that. and so encouraging to rest in. everything is for a purpose and for a reason.
