7 days. 3 hours. 49 minutes. That's when my flight leaves.
It has been a whirlwind of busyness in the past 8 weeks. It truly feels like just yesterday I said "Yes, lets do it, I'll be the photographer." And within days my plane ticket was booked & it became real. Whirlwind. That describes this well.
Raising support in a short 2 months, preparing my heart/mind/body/soul, talking to various people about their experiences, figuring out what gear to take. It was, and still is, a lot. I needed to prepare my business to be gone for two weeks, schedule my sessions around then, make sure each client had their images before I left, and address as many emails as possible before I left.
I've really had to dig deep to find peace & faith that God will take care of things. I know that He will provide the necessary financial support that I need and plenty of people to pray for me & the trip. I just have to be patient.
There are so many unknowns with this trip; I'm the type who likes to have everything prepared & know exactly what's going to happen, but I'm having to let it go for this trip. It's weird, letting go, and not knowing what to expect, and it's hard. But God is calling me to this & I know He has a beautiful plan & if I can just be patient & trust, it will all go accordingly.
Matthew 6:36
"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring it's own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."
I think about this verse daily & it's apart of my prayers. I'm just ready to be there and be excited & start meeting so many sweet new faces.
Thank you to all who have a said prayer or many. I am a strong believer in the power of prayer & I appreciate every single one. And a deep thank you to those who have supported me financially. It's so great to know that not only am I going over there, but that so many of you are involved as well.
When you support me, you are invested in what's happening over there & that's the great thing about supporting ministries abroad. You are apart of it! I am almost fully funded, but I am still in need of further support. If you've thought about giving even $5, please send me a email to mail me a check or donate online. I know that $5 may not seem like a lot or it's not a "good enough" donation, but I can't stress this enough- every penny counts & every penny helps.
If you have any questions about what I'll be doing or just want to talk more about the trip, please don't hesitate to ask! You can email me here: creo-photography@live.com
And in just a over a week, I'll be adding photos here on the blog! I'm so excited to be there & share my experience with you all!
Thank you again for you support!
