This is a dream of mine in more ways than one:
-I have always wanted to on a long-term mission trip
-I have longed to return to Romania with Livada since I went in 2009
And, well, basically, I'm PUMPED! I feel as though I should be excused for the next six months for any and all random outbursts of excitement, because well, I'm just so excited about what God is going to do. :)
I went to Romania three years ago, and it was incredible. Seeing children whose lives have been forever changed by God excites me more than you can imagine. Last time I went to Romania, it was with my church...with people I knew, and it was comfortable. I can't help but think that with this next trip and me knowing no one, it kind of signifies my life right now...uncomfortable, exciting change. I pray that for this trip I will be a witness to those around me. That I will be obedient and open to God's calling. But most of all I pray that God will receive ALL the glory! I consider it such a great privilege that God has called me to go! Talk about an adventure. I know God is taking me there to Turgu-Mures Romania for some reason...and I cannot wait to see it all play out!!
This is me and my team from Romania a few years ago...cannot wait to go back and see them!!
Livada Orphan Care is who I will be going through and this is their website if you want to find out more about this ministry: www.livada.org
I plan on updating this blog throughout the next few months concerning Romania and what God is doing, as well as while I'm in Romania...most likely weekly. So you will be able to see what God is doing while I am there! :)
"Yes, Lord, walking in the WAY of your laws, we wait for you; your NAME and RENOWN are the DESIRE of our hearts!....You have enlarged the nation, Lord; you have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for yourself; you have extended all the borders of the land." (Isaiah 26:8, 15)
Some of ya'll may recognize those verses from the Passion conference. But last year when I went to Passion, this verse excited me so much. Yes, Lord...we wait for You! Because, it's all about YOU!
