I can't believe I am going to Japan in 17 days!!!!!! It's been about a year now since I felt God's calling to go to Tokyo, Japan! I still can't believe I'm going! If someone would have told me before super summer that I would be going to Japan on a mission trip I would have laughed at them and told them they were crazy! It's sooo unreal how much God has changed me in the past year. I went from being so shy and just wanting to fit in to finally starting to figure exactly who I am and who God wants me to continue to become:D
The whole process for Japan has been such a journey! From actually convincing my parents to let me go and then filling out the application and also sending in recomendation letters from people at church to actually raising the money to go. God used so many people in my life to help encourage and support me with this trip! I still can't believe I raised more money than I needed for the trip!! I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life who have and always have supported me in all I do!! I am so thankful for my parents for busting their behinds to help me raise the money and send in the payments on time and everything else they have helped me with for my trip!
Through this trip and also with getting ready for college I am learning more and more that God will provide for me and help me in all i do! Even when there have been times of such weakness I know that with God I will come out stronger in the end for in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 it states:
"But he said to me," my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecution, in difficulties. For when I am weak, I am strong." I am so thankful to have God on my side! I know i could not survive without him! I'm so excited about this opportunity to spread God's name in Japan!
