One Month Away!

We will be leaving in one month from today. As much as I am excited I have so much to do between now and then with school. Finals are right around the corner and I still have exams to take before then. My time slots for preparing are getting smaller with this mission as we get closer. I am finding myself having to decided if I need to be doing homework or preparing for the mission when I have a bit of free time. Work has been getting busier and I spent this past weekend training a new employee which has taken away from my time as well. God has blessed me with material for the topic I have been assigned which is "sharing your faith." One of our old small group studies has shed some new light on the material about how we each have our own style and I intend to really run with that since it resonates with me the most. I am really enjoying getting to know the rest of the team and how open we are with each others struggles in preparation for the mission and as we have been sharing our testimonies with each other as our individual stories will be a large part of this mission. I share mine with the team next week and after hearing others I understand there is more I need to include in mine. I have been struggling with the time when I was molested in the sense of including it in my testimony and its relevance. The more I have given it thought I am seeing how God used that to shape me into who I am today. It is incredible how fast God can work in our lives if you let Him. About a year ago I was telling my parents for the first time of how I was molested and today I see how God is using that in my life to glorify Himself. God is good!
