In four weeks I set off on what is sure to be a life-changing adventure.
It's becoming a little more real and I am experiencing a wide array of emotions about it- excitement, fear, anxiety, anticipation, and the list goes on.
I feel in some ways totally inadequate for the job I am heading over to West Africa to do, but I am trusting that this is where God is calling me and that He will lead and guide me.
I hope to learn to rely on God fully in the absence of family and friends as I am realizing how much can change in a year and seeing how hard it will be to miss out on certain things and events in the lives of the people I care about.
Please be praying that I would learn to "not conform anymore to the patterns of this world, but be transformed. (Romans 12:2)" I will need an abundance of humility, love, strength, faith and many other things, but am hoping to learn more of how to live as Jesus lived through this experience.
God bless,
Amanda
