The wait is finally over. I can't believe I'm leaving for the Peace Corps. Even though the journey to get here was long, I'm amazed at how time has quickly gone. During the past 3 years, God has been revealing my insecurities and lack of trust in Him. I've been challenged to examine my life and evaluate if I am truly living out the Word.
These past few years have been a struggle and I still feel there is more for me to learn. Even the issues revealed, God is still working on in me. I know that what He has for me will continue to sharpen my character and deepen my relationship with Him.
I'm really sad to go but excited on this new venture. My struggle with leaving family and friends is an indication of God's goodness and faithfulness.
The fears that I've been experiencing have been lies from Satan. The fear that everyone will forget me and the fear of losing my friends are only lies that will hinder me from my potential.
I've come to realize that it is ONLY by God's grace that I've made it this far. I'm also aware that I am loved and blessed with great people in my life who will not forget me.
I'm really glad for this opportunity to serve in the peace corps and look forward to sharing my experience.
