Hello friends,
This is Robby. Whether you know me or not, greetings. This is my blog, where I will be letting you know what is going on with me as I live and serve in Germany. I graduated from York College of Pennsylvania with a degree in Criminal Justice 4 days ago, and now I am preparing to go to Germany to serve victims of human trafficking and to tell them and others about Jesus. Serving however I can.
Right now there are numerous emotions going on, and I have not yet had time to process them all. They are not all active emotions either, different ones pop up at different times. Two days ago I was feeling very nervous about learning German, and I was afraid of how I would interact with Berlin if I struggled to learn it. Yesterday I was feeling a lot of fear about fundraising, about what it would look like to meet all of these people, and whether or not I would be able to raise all of the money that I will need. It hurt to imagine my fellow Goers going out and serving the Lord in their various locations, and to know that I had failed to do so. I couldn't imagine having to change the course of my life in a different direction after mentally preparing myself for this journey for the oast several months, and knowing that this was something that God called me to. There are other emotions going on as well, some that I have yet to be able to name yet or that I can't think of right now. I suspect that these emotions coming out has a lot to do with the fact that I am here. I am at GoWeek. I am learning how to fundraise, meeting my organization reps, and forming bonds with my fellow Goers. This is all real now, it is not just some kind of fantasy adventure that I will one day do. Though I am not yet in Germany, I am more on my way now than I ever have been before. This is the start of something real. I hope you will join me on this journey.
God Bless,
Robby
