The time has come!

The countdown is done, which is crazy! My time to leave for Thailand has arrived. I can hardly believe it! My bags are all packed, everything is ready to go!! I can't even truly believe that tomorrow I am off to the airport to fly to Bangkok, to start my student teaching!!! I am filled with so many emotions. I am excited and happy, yet sad (that summer is over for me) and anxious! God has brought me so far. I would have never thought that I would be doing this, but it is not about me. God has replaced my old desires with new ones. Knowing 100% this is what God wants for me though is the only thing that I really care about. It is time to follow him as he leads.

It has sure been a crazy time the past few days though. I have been fighting my anxiety and worry, as well as some major headaches. I have been having a lot of migraines (a.k.a. spritiual battle) the past few nights and I haven't been getting much sleep. The reason I know this is because a few nights ago when my head was pounding hard and the pain was shooting through my head down my neck, I started to pray aloud and as soon as I said the name of Jesus, my headache stopped. God is on my side, regardless of what Satan tries to throw at me! If God is for me, who can be against me right?!? I know that God is going before and preparing everything...all I need to do is relax, trust him and let him "drive", but it is a challenge. It is so nice to know though that God is in charge of this all. He has provided everything for this trip. He is good and has blessed me with so many people to pray me through this and support me. (Thank you to you all. I love you)

I know that God is in control, but I would still love your prayers. I will keep you all updated on here and on my facebook in the days to come! I am looking forward to sharing with you all that God is teaching me :)

Prayer Requests:
-Pray that my flights go smooth and I make all my connecting flights
-Pray for me as I start student teaching. Pray that I can touch the lives of these children, as well as pass my student teaching :)


All I am for Him!
