The Journey has begun! After an intense week of training... I am finally on my way. I am super tired (but also super excited) so here is a quick rundown...
- we left Alabma (from training) at 5 a.m. Tuesday morning and traveled to the Atlanta airport
-from Atlanta we flew to Houston, Tx. My goal was to find Beth Moore (who, as my mom knows, is like one of my greatest role models), although my search was unsuccessful :)
-next we flew 16 hours from Houston to Dubai. The Dubai airport is HUGE. To say that we (6 American college students) are in the minority is a complete understatement. It's so cool to look around and experience new things.... rose milk being one of those new things (yes milk flovored like roses)
-I am now in the airport waiting to fly to Malaysia.
I am weary from traveling but so excited to see what the Lord has in store. My prayer is that I will embrace each day, ready to give 100 % and love people like Jesus loves. Regardless of if it is the man on the side of the road or the college student who seems bitter and angry at the world. I do not want to waste this opportunity and let it fly by as just a "cool summer" but I want to fully embrace the opportunity to share with others. So at the unfamiliar places with the unfamiliar faces, I strive to meditate on these words....
"Sing to the Lord, ALL the earth! TELL of His salvation from day to day. DECLARE His glory among the NATIONS, His marvelous works among ALL the peoples! For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, and HE is to be held in awe above all gods..." 1 Chronicles 6:23-25
Thank you for all of your kind words, prayers, and support.
Until the whole world hears,
Emily
