honduras

hi! it's been so long since i last wrote! today i'm writing to tell you that i'm off on another trip and this time i'm going to..... HONDURAS! so crazy! i never imagined that i would go to central america and yet here i am again, going to some random place God has sent me to. i got the "call" to go on december 16th and it's been a long road getting to where i am now. long story short: i felt like God was asking me to wait to go back to school and december 15 was the last day for me to pay for classes. on the 16th i had this wierd dream where i was headed to honduras with a team and when i woke it was one of those dreams that felt so real. i thought about it for 2 weeks and didn't tell anyone. finally when i did, i told a friend of mine, who's a doctor, and she called a friend of her's who is also a doctor who goes to honduras on medical trips as well. well, he was so excited about it he called his contact who just happened to be in town at the time. the next week i was able to meet with her and we spoke about honduras and the dream i had. does this whole thing make sense?

either way, that was in january and since then i've been praying about when i should go and how i tell my boss at work that i'm leaving. the whole thing with me talking to my boss was stressing me out and i was really trying to be at peace with it. right before i went in to talk with her i read isaiah were God said that i shouldn't fear what people fear and be anxious in what make people anxious but rather to fear Him and be anxious in Him. it was still hard, going in and having to quit my job, but i'm trusting that He will provide when i get back.

so, tomorrow morning i leave and i haven't packed yet (no surprise there). i'm considering pulling an all-nighter but we'll see. i'm taking one bag full of stuff for kids and my contact and the other is for myself. i was so proud of myself for getting everything i needed. last minute i remembered i forgot one important thing: toilet paper. yeah, that would have made my trip pretty unforgetable, and not in a good way ;) so after getting that i'm now about to pack and i'm praying everything will fit. i'll update you as soon as i can :) wish me luck!!
