God's call

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? ”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Isaiah 6:8

I am excited to write this blog today as I am officially leaving for Ecuador in mid-August.   Back in January I decided to teach for a nonprofit in South America and started searching/contacting various friends and organizations. This summer, there were some complications, and I at times feared my ability to go and do God's work--BUT God is good. These complications caused me to apply to other places, one of which is an organization called Jungle Kids for Christ. They are located in the Amazon Jungle of Ecuador.  While I was aware of God's call to teach and love in Ecuador, I had never imagined becoming a missionary (Much of the past year I have been learning to recognize the ways I need to stop fearing my ability to do God's work.  I have learned the great and awesome things I can do only by the strength and power of the Holy Spirit.  Without Him, I would freak out about almost EVERYTHING).  After much praying, jumping into my Bible, jumping into my bilingual Bible, talking with the people from the organization, talking with much Christian community, and investigating, I knew what God was asking me to do, and I  am really EXCITED about it.   If you would have told me that I would be a missionary a year ago or 6 years ago, I would have been like Sara and laughed in your face. As Sara was laughing about her old age, God said BOOM: Trust me, You are having a baby.  In my life, God said BOOM: Trust me, I want you to be a missionary. My thoughts that this would have been impossible, have been changed by the One who can make all things possible.

Here is a little more info about Jungle Kids for Christ (JFC) and what I will be doing :):

I will be buying my plane ticket today and will post the date of when I will be leaving the United States (Most likely August 12-20th).  Thank you for your prayers and support!
Blogging is a new thing for me so I want to apologize in advance for the many buttons I may not push correctly or the way in which I am technologically challenged.
