a week away!

It is only one week from today that I leave for Budapest! I am so thankful for everyone who has been praying and supporting this trip. I am excited, scared, and everything inbetween.

It is exciting because I am getting the opportunity to do what I love: travel, see Tamara and Atilla (two amazing people), use video to tell the story of God's work, and further pursue where HE would have me in the future

It is scary because this abstract idea of "missions" is suddenly becoming tangible. And as I pursue where I am to be in the future (I graduate from Moody in one year) moving somewhere away from family and what I have always known begins to sink in. the reality suddenly begins to show underneath the adventure covered idea of what it means to be a missionary. and i fear failure.

I continue to lift this all up in prayer, to be open to opportunites, and realize that where I serve is not what is important

but WHO I serve...and he is constant, unchanging, and completely in control

please pray for last minute preparations

for the remaining support (I am so thankful and blown away at God's provision thus far-and the support of so many!)

for guidance and direction for the future

the english camp i am helping at-pray for God to begin working in camper's hearts, for the team of teachers coming

the video project-that everything would go well, that God would be glorified in it

for the workers in Hungary, the believers there, and those who need to hear the Gospel

that i would fall more in love with Jesus Christ

Thanks so much! I will try to update this often while in Hungary as well.

I'm so bummed that I couldn't see you this weekend before you leave tomorrow! :(
I will be thinking about you every day, sending my prayers, love you so much!
(I'll also be checking this site obsessively, so *frequent updates* are really in fashion in Hungary these days, I hear!)
;)
Love you, can't wait to see you again..
