Just last night it hit me that I will be away from all of this for an entire year.
Am I really ready for this type of adventure? I would like to say I can easily say yes. but the more I think about it the more nervous I get. I know with all of my heart that BVS is where If supposed to serve for this next year, I prayed long and hard about the right answers, and every door I see has been open to me. When I wasn't sure something was gonna turn out, it wasn't long until I got the answer I needed.
I have been in touch with Kristen Flory, who is in charge of all the BVS projects in the UK, this means that we have been talking about the possibility of me serving at the Quaker Cottage in Belfast Northern Ireland. This has been a dream of mine since I first read about the project possibilities. But again I never thought it could really be me.
I still have one hurdle so to speak which will be orientation in January. This is where I will learn where my final placement will be. But God willing I will be heading to Northern Ireland in March.
If this isn't his plan I will either go to Colorado or Kansas.
Either way I will be somewhere all by myself for an entire year. I know this is something I need to help me grow. I have been on my own for 4 years so I know I will be ok living on my own, it will just take time to adjust. But I am super excited to have this experience, this is an opportunity of a lifetime. A chance to be a servant of God, serve others, meet new people, and live in a new place.
As the Christmas season is in full swing, I am taking the time to spend with family and friends and appreciate all the little things I will be away from for so long.
