Here we go!!

I can’t believe the day has finally come :) Before I fly out, I just wanted to say a word of thanks to all my family and friends who’ve supported me over the past few months! I am floored by your radical generosity and heart for missions! Thank you :)

If you’re still interested in supporting, I’m still trying to recoup some airfare/visa costs and bank fees/foreign exchange losses (higher than I thought). Any gift will help :)

So tonight, while I’m not watching the exciting end to the MLB regular season (Wow, 2 collapses in one night! Go Cards! Go Rays!), I’m recollecting all that has happened during the past few months, the lessons from DTS, and the phrase that’s on my mind is this: Your destiny is something you need to walk in to.

Ephesians 2:10

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

It’s interesting how the more we seek God, the more these predestined works are revealed. And the more we obey, the more we know God. But in between the revealing and the obeying is a choice, an action, an initiation. The “Yes” that your heart is saying must break past passivity and fear and into reality. We’ve got to walk into our destiny.

I feel like I’m walking into a big question mark. What lies on the other side of the FCM tunnel? I haven’t the slightest idea, but I do believe that this is my initiation to find out.

God, I ask for boldness, a servant’s heart, and a greater love for You.

Keep me from holding back. Both feet are off the boat, here we go. Here we go!

Here’s a quick little schedule (to the best of my knowledge) for the next few days and for FCM:

9/29 – Fly out from Chicago

9/30 – Spend a night in HK

10/1 – Arrive in Perth

10/3 – Classes begin :)

Sometime after Christmas before the end of December – London Outreach for 8 weeks

Mid-February – TBD 2nd Outreach Location for 4 weeks

March 2012 – Return to Perth

March 19 – Visit family + friends in Taiwan

April, 2012 – Return to Chicago

And just to end on a lighter note…

Per everyone’s request…I doubt I’ll find the singing Korean twins because they are across the country in Sydney, but I’ll keep my eyes on the lookout for you guys. Who knows, maybe they want to do a DTS? :P

 

Also, the outback is an exciting place to be, but I found this song quite fun…although I’m a little more hesitant to go camping with my class now…
