EXCITEMENT!!!

I am so excited to go to Jamaica. I'm excited about every little thing about it. I can't wait to be in school again, where I spend everyday learning about God and missions from wise people who've been on the missions field for years. I can't wait to explore the bible and learn more about what it has to teach me. I can't wait to be in that culture again. It was really hard the first time that I was there, being a minority for 5 months is more difficult than one might think. It was also hard not having the freedom to go wherever i wanted to go whenever i wanted to. I always had to be with someone, because it wasnt safe for a young white girl to be off by herself somewhere that she didnt know very well. And I usually never knew where i was going, I just followed along. And so I remember all of those things that weren't so great about my experience, but I am still SO excited for ALL of it. This time I know what to expect, I'll have an idea of where I'm going and what to say to the cabbies when I go for a day trip into MoBay for some shopping or a day at the beach. And I'm so excited to see all of the people that I made such wonderful relationships with. I'm so excited to see the leaders at the base again, and my boyfriend especially! I'm excited to meet new people that I'll be doing the FCD school with and all of the others that will be there doing other schools or outreaches. I can't wait to go out into the community of Jamaica and meet the people, hear their stories, encourage them in their faith and make new friendships along the way! I'm so excited and passionate about this amazing journey of faith that I am about to journey into. I don't know exactly where I'll be in five years or what exactly I'll be doing, but that's all part of the excitement and adventure. Sure I'll plan ahead as much as I can, I mean I don't want to be foolish about this life that God has so graciously given to me, but I just want to completely...with reckless abandon...follow God. I trust the Lord for provision, health, safety...and my life while I'm in a whole other country. I know that He will be with me, guiding me along this amazing adventure that I call life!!!!
