I can’t believe the day is finally here. There are a lot of emotions going on in my heart but I am excited to follow His leading and be a part of what He is doing in Asia. Wednesday I had to say goodbye to my family and it was definitely the hardest thing I've ever had to do up until this point. I am learning even more of what it means to rest in His strength as I take this next step. Please continue to lift up my family as we are all hurting yet clinging to Him.
Today I leave from Houston for my long trek overseas. I've been preparing for this day for a long time. Over the past few years I've learned so much about His faithfulness and how necessary it is for me to remain dependent on Him. I'm thankful that He uses people like us to share hope with the world, although I feel so inadequate. Yet I know that He will accomplish in and through me that to which He has called me. The same is true for you too! Thank you for being a part of this journey. I am trusting Him for great things! May the light shine forth and many come to know Him! Please join with me as we continue to ask the Father for the Word to be accepted and for lives to be changed.
I have been overwhelmed with the love and support of so many over the past few weeks. I am so encouraged and have definitely felt you all lifting me up. Thank you for sharing your hearts, your encouragement, the Word, your love, and your life with me. I am blessed beyond words!
My love and thoughts are with you...even from Asia. May He be your All-Sufficient One this new year and always. I look forward to updating you again soon from my new home! Much love!
