Soooo...I've got some exciting news that I've neglected to share until now. Don't ask how this has slipped from my mind as it is most often at the front of my mind often because I am just so.excited.I.don't.know.what.to.do! Well, almost don't know. Generally I actually just start grinning like a cheesy idiot.
OK, the big news is that I am going back to Guatemala! Yes, after over a year and a half since my all too short visit when we were finalizing the kiddos adoption I am going back to Guatemala. The funny thing is, I thought I wasn't going anywhere international mission related this year. The one trip I thought I would go on, I backed out of trying for. Everything else seemed to be doors closing in my face. After a lot of prayer, a lot of surrender and placing all the desires and such in God's hands, and a whole lot of learing to be still, God brought an amazing mission my way. A trip to an orphanage in Guatemala with my awesome friend Ellie and a bunch of people I am super ready to meet because I am hearing that they are quite awesome. I am very excited, nervous, freaked out, pumped, completely scarred out of my wits, etc, etc.
The thing that I'm most excited/nervous about is that last time I was there, was kind of a point of change in my life. I kind of went there with one mind set, and came back with a broken heart and tear washed mind where God began to work and make something new. That is all too simple of a way to say of my experiences there, but I'll share a bit more of it maybe later. I love what God has done with my life through the few days I spent in Guatemala, those times were a turning point in my life. But I'm also a bit nervous as you can see. I don't know what to expect out of this next visit. One thing I do know though, is that God is gonna be there. My Savior and His love and teaching and ways will be there if I'm willing to open my heart and eyes to find Him.
