falling into place!

Well, today I got my flight information! I know for most that isn't a big deal, but it really means that I'm going to Scotland...I have a place on the plane!!! I truly am feeling excited today, I guess I finally feel that things are falling into place and the adventures are about to begin.

Also, yesterday I got my packing list...which in my opinion is a little late since I started packing during Spring Break ( ha ha)! I just can't write/tell you enough how blessed I feel to have an opportunity to influence others lives and how scared I am all at the same time. I worry about whether I will do the right things and say the right things. I worry that I won't be able to shine for Christ like I know I can or that I will be shy and miss opportunities to share the Gospel like I know I should. BUT, I know I serve a God of compassion, of service, of comfort and of confidence. I know that He will protect me, and give me the words to say when I need them. I know that God will point me in the right direction and that I am going to have the experiences this summer for a reason! I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I may worry because it is human nature, my conscience and my heart knows that God is in control.

I just want to end with a scripture, it is one of my most favorite verses!

"For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." -Jeremiah 29:11

May God grant you peace and comfort throughout the rest of this week and for the rest of your life! Love ya bunches!
