today, we leave for thailand.

this is the most surreal and weird feeling in the entire world. i have looked forward to this for so long, but now that it is finally here it feels quite crazy! these morning the india & nepal team left at 7am, so ofcurse we got up at 630am to send them off... it is crazy that we won't see them for a whole two months! after these 4 months of growing and learning we really have become family.

I still have several people to call (sorry joc, molly, dad & karen, and everyone else!! today has been very busy!!)

But nevertheless i am so greatful and blessed for this opportunity. God provided all of the rest of our outreach fees for our team in a single day, he is so faithful and he is SO GOOD! There are a number of things going through my head... the last three days i have been frustrated and overwhelmed (OCD and liking things a certain way starting to kick in....) It never really works out when you are packing for 2 months, nevertheless goiing  on outreach! things never are going to be perfect! Coming to the point of near tears a few times made me realize how i have grown. I'm not ever gonna be perfect but i choose to trust God. God knows what is going to happen on outreach and he KNOWS that im ready for it as much as i think that im not-and i am ready for this next giant jump
