Preparing

Less than a month left until I leave for Nicaragua, and so many thoughts are going through my head. I am more excited than anything else, but a little nervous (especially about my Spanish). I know I am going to miss lots of people, but I am also going to meet so many new people.


"Lord, my desire is to follow You with everything. I am sorry that I have not been doing that. Use my weaknesses to bring You glory. I can do nothing in my own strength."


This has been my prayer as I have been preparing myself for Nicaragua. I know that I am not worthy of going to this country and sharing the good news of Jesus, but He chooses to use me.


"Thank you so much Jesus for choosing to use us! May You get all the glory."


Thanks to everyone that has been praying for me. I have such a strong support system at home. I can go to so many people for prayers, support, and advice. God has truly blessed me. And thank you to my family who has taught me to always put God first. I can't stop saying how much God has truly blessed me:)


"Thank you Jesus!"




2 Corinthians 12:9-10

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
