Last semester I was one of about 30 students to get chosen for an amazing experience. It truly is an opportunity of a lifetime. This is a study abroad program where we will study in ten different countries over a period of four months and stay in each country for about two weeks! We will travel to Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, India, Indonesia and China. I can't wait! We are going to experience so much and learn things that we don't even know we need to learn yet. I have to give all the glory and credit to God. In the beginning I have to admit that I had the mindset that I was going to make this trip happen for me no matter what God had planned for me...I know I'm a horrible sinner. But He made it happen for me even though I was so selfish. I still can't believe how much He has shown Himself during the preparation of this trip! There was the $4,400 payment that was due in a short amount of time and He miraculously provided for us, the shots were going to be around $800 but they only cost about $200, and the list goes on and on. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that He wants me to go on this trip. I am normally a worry wart, but through this experience He has shown me that everything is in His hands. Whatever He wants to happen will happen. He has definitely proven that to me. And I don't think this trip is only for my enjoyment. I have a feeling it is going to be something bigger than that. But we shall see...
I am almost completely ready to go. Only eleven more days until I leave. I only need a few more things to buy and I will be on my way! I will miss everybody but I can't back down on this opportunity of a lifetime.
