India!!!!

I know most of you have either heard me talk about it, read my status on facebook, or maybe you heard Tony say something about it at Crossroads.

I have decided to go over to India for one year to work with the organization, Open Arms for Asia.I don't have a specific date yet, but I will be going as soon as I raise all of the money I need. I'm thinking probably April or May-unless I decided to go to school next semester, then it will probably be May or June.

I have started working on my support letter to send out to family/friends, and will be soon looking into getting a passport, and vaccinations that I'll be needing.

Thinking about leaving all of my friends and my family here, and going over there to this completely different world, is a terrifying thing. Knowing that when I come back, I won't know where I'll be living, where I'll have a job, or where everyone I leave will be in their lives, is quite unsettling.However, the only thing I'm 100% sure about is that God is calling me to do this. And as long as I follow that call, everything else will fall into place, and I will return with a new, clear, perspective on life, hopefully having a passion and hunger for God like I've heard the kids over there have; a much bigger longing for God than I have probably ever experienced.

I want to come back and have others just feel God pouring out of me. I ask that you pray for me over the next few months, along with others who are considering going over there for a more short-term mission trip; for peace, clarity, and that God will provide all that I/we need so that I/we may be fully ready to venture over into the next part of my/our life.

If you want to know more, feel free to ask! I've pretty much been sleeping, eating, and breathing India for the last couple of weeks and would love nothing more than to sit down and talk about it with you. Thanks and God Bless.xo

**THIS IS NO WHERE NEAR THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF HOW I GOT TO THIS POINT AND/OR HOW I THINK MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE CHANGED. JUST A QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT TO START GETTING THE PRAYERS FLOWING. :) THERE WILL BE MUCH MORE TO COME!**
