Hmm. Few days are left until I HEAD OUT! Woohoo :)
Life is so calm right now. We are all moved in to the new house, thanks to the many hands :). I feel so at peace just being at home. Which must be why God in his mysterious ways is calling me to step out of my comfort zone and find Jesus there, where He is waiting for me. It's like when Peter steps out of the boat-Jesus is right there waiting for him to have faith and to take his hand.
When I talked to some people about heading down to Costa Rica to go to school, and to serve and learn from the people, I kept hearing the phrase "Godspeed". I pictured myself like a car in a race through the ghetto with "GODSPEED-The kind of lightning speed only a god could have" painted across it and lightning bolts flaming from the sides. So I googled it. "Godspeed, as a word, is a wish for a prosperous journey, success, and good fortune (from Middle English God speed you, meaning "May God help you prosper")."
Godspeed is what I pray for in this journey and chapter of my life. I need God with me there, and even more I want Him. His speed would OWN any car in a race and I know I'll need it. I can imagine He is just as excited as I am as we go to prosper together in Costa Rica. I look forward to failure and the testing of my faith that in James, God says will help me to gain perseverance. And I look forward to successes and gained wisdom as well. I can't dream of all the things I will encounter and learn from this experience, and I look forward to sharing with YOUUU the adventures that God will take me on.
Thanks for reading my BLOG! Your prayers, love and support are amazing!
Godspeed,
Emma
