Last time I wrote we were 0% funded, had about fifteen “appointments” set up with our closest friends and family to meet with in our first week back from training to share our vision and passion for the next two years of our lives. Fast forward three months and we are ALMOST DONE building our team. This season has been nothing but an oxymoron for me – a season comprised of both the best and most challenging times of my life. I’ve been more uncomfortable in these past three months than ever before in my life, while simultaneously overwhelmed by peace that I’m exactly where He wants me. Absolutely amped to finally move to Peru after such a long journey to get there and at the same time dreading saying “see ya later” to our family and friends for the next two years. Still bombarded now and then with various lies of inadequacy and insecurities while at the same time not remembering a time in my life where I’ve been so hungry for Truth. It’s cool though because with every hard thing that has come up I have had no choice but to cling to God, who has never failed to be faithful. And it makes it really pretty easy when all I have to do is look back on these past three months and remember how carefully He orchestrated every little piece, brought so, so many incredible people into our lives, and provided over and over again.
We are flying out February 20th! Yesterday Matt and I began to pack up our first little house as husband and wife and I’ll be honest, I cried a little (and I thought Matt was the sentimental one). Mainly thankful tears though – stepping out of this incredible season only so we can enter the next. And with even more confidence that God was and always is faithful.
