I'm Sailing off to Neverland and then Japan


The title to this first blog is from a Relient K song, "This is The End" which is just a friend to the irony of life. This is not the end, however, nor the beginning. In fact it is not a surprise that God is sending me off to the mission field. This has been a desire of mine since I was a wee girl. More than my own desire it is His desire for me. He has drawn me into the heart of missions. This is just another step, another bit of faith, and an exciting piece to the journey I am already walking.
I'm leaving tomorrow from my home in Oneonta, Alabama at 3:00am or so to fly off to Sucua, Ecuador. My flight is at 6:15 A.M. I will leave at security where I will say my last goodbyes. Today I am in a state of surreal anticipation and peaceful serenity. Anticipation for what is to come. God's mysterious hand opened this door and He always sweetly surprises me. Direction is a pleasant thought. This direction I believe has been held from me until this time. Possibly in the next three months of solitude from the norm of everyday life, I will be given words of insight and knowledge into the future of His plan for me. Peaceful serenity because God has brought me this far and has never failed me. I am jumping into the will of God for my right now. I am not worried about the future because all I am commanded to do is trust Him with my now. So here I go, God! Thanks for the kiss.
I hope you enjoy this adventura as much as me. Goodbye to you my friends and family. --Welcome to La Adventure of my life as a missionary.
