Let the Countdown BEGIN!

Wow. It is official. In 30 days I will be headed to the airport to board a plane bound for India. It is crazy how things work out when you exchange your semi-functional life blue print for God's completely functioning machine where all you have to do is jump on the conveyor belt and enjoy the ride. That was one of my biggest lessons in 2012. In this New Year I am going to do my best to stay on that conveyor belt at the steady pace it is currently moving. No need to go in to overtime. I know God's got this thing under control.

There is still a lot of work I have to do until I can leave. Lots of paper work, logistics, reading, and studying (both academic and biblical) that needs to be done. God has already done his part, and I am more that amazed at the work he is planning to do on this adventure, now it is my turn! So let the countdown begin! On your MARK...Get SET...GO!!!

*SideNote - As a global studies major and a child of Abba Father I already know one thing I will struggle with is want to fix every problem I see. I went to a Bible study before coming home for Christmas break and I was given a Word of Wisdom. The Lord said, "You are not going to be able to help them all even though you will want to. Use the discernment I have given you. When you do that is when I will be pleased and will move." My prayer is that I will be encouraged and comforted by these words in the midst of discouragement.
