accepted!

Yesterday I had my One-on-One with a representative from AIM (Adventures in Missions).  Basically, she told me I was ACCEPTED into the program and she went on to tell me about the next steps of the process and sent me a ton of paperwork to read and fill out in the next couple of weeks.  As I began reading through it all yesterday, I had so many thoughts running through my head:  I am so excited to see what God has in store for me in this next year of preparation for The World Race.  I need to make sure I can take time off student teaching next spring to go to the mandatory 10-day training camp.  How in the world I will be able to fit everything I will need for a year into a bag that I can carry on my back?!  I have never been good at packing, but I have a feeling by the end of this trip I will be a master packer! :)

Through this whole process, this verse keeps coming up:

"He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."

--1 Thessalonians 5:24

I have faith that since this is all part of God's plan for my life, He will somehow fit all the pieces together perfectly!
