As the time for my departure draws near, I am so excited that I will be going to Mazatlan, Mexico. Between the new sights, smells, tastes and the culture and people I am feeling more and more called each day. It has been amazing to see God behind the scenes, putting this all perfectly together.
At the same time, it has all been a bit overwhelming. One worry I hear the enemy whisper is, “Are you sure that God will provide enough support in time to go?” Yet, I am confident that God will see this trip through. My schedule is very busy between three jobs. I am happy to share that I just turned in my two weeks notices in today.
I have had many labels attached to my name. Labels like; student, athlete, server, yard worker, son, friend, brother, adventurer. With each label attached, so too came with it, new experiences and learning opportunities. I look forward to seeing how each these shape the newest label as a Missionary. I have thoroughly enjoyed starting a blog, sending letters and preparing to depart.
Being a missionary has most definitely challenged me into learning new skills and understanding of sacrifice. Just imagine, I know that I don’t even know what I’m fully getting into. Choosing to accept this new season of my life has been amazing and I am learning so much more about myself as I go.
I have been deeply encouraged. After I posted the blog, I was so encouraged to see the comments and support from friends that I haven’t spoken with in years. It’s encouraging to see God moving in such a way. I am very thankful for the support of friends, family, Langston Baptist church and beyond.
