Getting Comfortable

I think im starting to get comfortable in where I am with my life. I'm halfway done with school, could have a nice job when I graduate, and am used to the everyday routine of life. It scares me that Im getting comfortable. Because now when I seriously think about missions and leaving for half a year i get worried. It will be uncomfortable to live in another country and change my routine, my food, my nice convenient life. It'll be uncomfortable to take a 20 hour plane ride by myself. It'll be uncomfortable to start from scratch and make friends out of strangers. It'll be uncomfortable to leave my family and be on my own. It'll be uncomfortable to sleep and live in a different environment. But I can find comfort in the arms of my heavenly father. When I'm seriously persuing this opportunity with missions, I have to forget comfort. Maybe giving up my comfort could mean truely impacting some children's lives on the other side of the world.

A year from now...

I've been thinking what I'll be doing a year from now. I have absolutely no idea. A year ago I was making 150 bracelets for the kids at the AGC church in Kenya and getting so pumped up about going over there for 2 weeks. So much has happened in this past year. Kenya completely changed my life. God's given me such a passion for his children overseas. I feel called to work in orphan ministry. I don't know how long or where I'm going yet but I think a year from now, life could possibly be completely different. A year from now, I'll be the big two O, hopefully doing missions in a country where the need is great. Im hopeful for what God has in store over this next year. Im almost halfway done with cosmetology school and excited to be done:) I think I can use this profession for God's glory. I've got some ideas jumpin around in my head :) haha. God is faithful and Im so excited to see what he has in store for me this next year as I hopefully head off into a new chapter of my life working with orphans.
