Just days ago, I took my last exam of my freshman year of college. I leave for my two-month trip to Guatemala later this month. I am into a transitioning period of two weeks right now where I am spending time at home with family, getting all my supplies together for this summer, and preparing my heart for what God is going to do in me.
During this period of time, I have already had a lot of time to sit and think — maybe too much time. I’m so excited for what’s to come, but I’m also nervous about going to an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. I can’t wait to see how God transforms my heart but at the same time, I am scared to change. I am excited to get back to my college town and see my friends but at the same time, I am scared out of my mind that it’s gonna be a slap in the face when I’m no longer surrounded by like-minded people, but rather living in a sorority house.
I can just imagine God smiling down on me right at this moment because He holds the master plan in His hands. He knows just how this summer is going to transform me and challenge me. He knows the people I am going to touch. And He knows the people who will touch my heart.
I ask that if you are reading this that you pray for me in these three ways:
- Please pray for my heart as I prepare to go to an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people.
- Please pray for openness in me to the ways that God is going to transform my heart.
- Please pray for the softness of heart for those my team and I will be meeting and sharing the Gospel with.
