Good morning, good day or goodnight (choose your own greeting because I currently have no idea where I am or what time it's supposed to be),

I'm writing to you from 34000 ft in the air on my way to my next destination- Guate. As I sit here looking back at these last three months in Romania, I'm shocked at how fast it went by. The best way to describe it is the days went by fast, the weeks went by faster & the months was a blink of an eye, yet it feels like I arrived in Romania yesterday but have lived there forever. Yeah, it's complicated. 

Romania was my home for three months. It was the beginning of the journey God has called me on. The first lessons He has taught me & growth I experienced on the Race. The start to a life of ministry & learning what that means.

My last day in Romania was spent soaking up the "lasts". The last time walking through the square, smelling the Romanian air, waking up to the rooster & dogs barking, running across the highway, getting food at my favorite places (Gigi's cherry filled pretzel, Profi hotdog & Maestro's sandwich), trip to the corner store & my last day of ministry. Saying goodbye was hard, as it should be. Through processing with God, He showed me I poured my heart out for the people in Romania through obedience & walking in boldness with Him. These are both things He taught me during my time in Romania & it truly made a big impact on me and those around me. When I asked Him what He wanted me take from Romania & apply to Guatemala, He said to continue to be obedient to Him & to do all things with boldness and to have no fear. When I asked if He had anything to say to me for Guat, He told me to just receive. He wants me to drop all expectations of what it will be like, what I will learn, how He will use me and how I will grow. He asked me to just receive all He wants to present me with in His timing. He doesn't want me to miss out on all the incredible things He's doing if I'm trying to guess or look ahead to things that aren't here yet. I'm going to be where my feet are & just receive Him. It's such a relieving & loving feeling to be in a state of receiving.

I'm SO excited to meet my new home & for the next part of this incredible journey!!!!!

Stay tuned <3
