So here goes again...another try at blogging.
Well since my last blog so many new things have come about. One of the biggest things, which I want to start blogging about because I know it is going to help me process is that Aaron and I are to leave this coming August for our first mission trip to Thailand for 1 year! We are both very excited about this and have felt called to do missions since before we were married. This is something that God put on my heart the day I got saved. I've been on a few short term mission trips here and there but never anything long term, so as excited as I am, I am also very nervous. Of course I'm a little nervous about the big bugs, the language barrier, and the mosquitios but most of all of being so far away from my family and friends. That probably sounds like such a small thing to be worried about, my husband is not in the least worried about leaving his family, I mean he will miss them but it's different for me, this is my safety net I've lived here all my life I know where everything is if I need something I can call just about anyone. But in Thailand.... that's a different story. I know sometimes God calls us to do the unthinkable, I feel like this is the unthinkable! As much as I feel called sometimes I wonder if I will make it there will I really be able to survive? Geez I sound so dramatic! I have to remember God is calling me and I am following. So many times I prayed, God Please, please Send ME!! Now here He is sending me and I'm scared!
Another thing that I wanted to mention why we are excited to go is we are going to try and adopt a child while we are there. We hope and pray that God will direct and guide us to the child that he would have us have.
