The Journey Back Pt.1

Over the past few days, I have had the pleasure of meeting with people and sharing about this quickly approaching trip. By God's grace plans changes, but have been undoubtedly for the better. I was able to stay with a friend (whom I have not asked permission to name yet) , on my way to Norfolk, as parents though it unwise to drive in the dusk while roads iced over. At first I was very frustrated that my plans forcibly changed, of which called me to submit, but upon reentering my house my brother comforted me and was thankful for the fact that I would be around a bit longer. It hit me. I did not realize it at first but it began to sink in later, life is too short to run about planing things our way. This change in plans now gave me the chance to spend much more time with my friend and dear sister in Christ as well as learn to obey.

After a wonderful night of sleep--we were able to sleep in due to school delays. We had breakfast together and I departed for Norfolk. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longer route than planned. I was using the GPS this time, and ended up on back routes the entire way. Thankfully God protected me the entire way until an errand spot in Hampton. I got to meet a kind lady and some kind folks in the small town setting, as I had to get car parts for my dad.

Later upon arriving to Norfolk, it was perfect timing to get some other errands done and see dear friends, one of which I was not expecting to see--which was a pleasant surprise.

Now at my Big Sis N's. Praise the Lord for fellowship and the grace to have Hope in a God who is good and is preparing the way for truth to shine. I see it growing in her and our talks as we share about life. We also got to watch Jeremiah the movie. It was really good and refreshing to be reminded of the call we have, to speak truth, in-spite of the cost. Thank you all for reading my blogs and for praying for our team! About FOUR MORE DAYS! Four more days until I leave.

I am $5,047 raised!
Which means I need $6,953 left to be fully funded!!!!!
Only God can raise such an amount in such little time. To Him be the glory!!

Here is the movie for those of you who have not watched it yet :)
