Its official. 82 days until I'm starting a new adventure in Maui, Hawaii. It doesn't even seem real to me yet, even with all the preparations I've started. For those who don't know what I am doing exactly, let me explain. I'm going to Discipleship Training School with the program Youth With A Mission in Haiku, Maui. During this program I will spend about 2 1/2 months in Maui taking classes. Here I will learn about evanglelism, the characteristics of God and learn about my relationship to Him. We will also hold church services every sunday. There is a lot more we will do - but that's all I can think of now. From Maui, I will go on an outreach to someplace in Asia, I won't find out where I am going and what the main focus will be until I am in Maui. This leaves me a little bit excited but a bit unsure as well, since I have no idea what country I will be living in for 2 1/2 months next year!!
All in all, I'm thrilled to be going but also nervous since I dont know quite what to expect, but God has led me this far and I trust that he will keep leading me. The reason that I am going on this trip in the first place is that I felt I had no other choice. I have felt God pushing me to go into missions for the last few years, and this is my chance. Between people mentioning that they could see me just up and leaving to do missions, to having Bible passages pop out to me and waking up one morning just knowing that this is what God wants me to do. After being so unsure of what to do and where God is leading me, I felt so sure and confident when I filled out the application back in April that this is what I am meant to do right now in my life!
