Bigger then Texas

So last night during my bestest and I usual pillow talk, always enjoyable and will greatly miss come April, the water works started. Through some train of thought we ended up talking about Me leaving. She asked how I was handling it all and I told her actually very well and the Lord has given me a total peace about it. Well all I know is she started to cry and I ended up joining in right along. I'm not going to lie I am SUPER excited to serve the Lord and follow through with the will He has for me! However, I also will miss my comfort zone, daily communication and activities that I now take for granted. I love my life here in the great state of Texas but I also know that the Lord has something even bigger than Texas planned for me.



Note: Not everyone in Texas wears cowboy hats, take for example, me! We were at the PBR World Finals so Danielle had a reason for showing off her stereotypically Texas pride.

Poland here I come!

So I got my letter on Saturday! From the title of my post you can see that I'll be heading off to Poland come July. It's such a wonderful feeling to finally know for sure where I will be going. I'll head to Virginia the end of April where I'll be in training for eight weeks then I'll be back here in the wonderful state of Texas! But only for two weeks, those two weeks will be devoted to packing and saying my goodbyes. Then the first week in July I'll move over to Poland were I will start my two year journey. While I'm there from what I gather I'll be assisting and working with college students, children’s groups, and tribes. Which I am super excited about! I've also been able to look at pictures and read about what team Poland is already doing and I must say it's really helping me to get excited and anticipate the move.



Thank you to everyone that has prayed for me and is continuing to pray for me as I now begin to take the next steps to prepare myself for Poland.



Prayer request:

-access to a manual car b/c I need to learn how to drive a stick shift

- Diligence as I begin to learn survival polish

- continued unity within the group that I will be joining

- That I can get all the loose ends tied up before I head off to training.
