Alright guys, so here is the deal. God is so great, He is more amazing than anything ever!!! I know that those statements do not necessarily make sense, but man, God is so good. 

Here is a little story of God's provision.... I had been struggling to complete all of my applications and fund pages for my program. The big application that was looming over me, however, was the visa application that I was supposed to have completed in March. I attempted to apply online, but for some weird reason there was a glitch in the computer and the application itself prevented me from completing it. I looked everywhere trying to delete it and start anew. I had even taken it to my missions professor who could not figure it out either. After a long day of dwelling, I prayed and went back to the website. and BOOM! there was a delete button. So I quickly, yet thoroughly, completed it again. I even double checked some information before I entered it. At the end there it was, the button I had been longing for, the submit button. I prayed again and pressed it. My application was officially in the hands of New Zealand's immigration services. Then today, knowing that I would see two very important people in my life who would ask about it, I checked my status. ........And can you guess what I found? I found that my visa had already been approved. Three business days!!! That's it, three business days and God made it happen. 

Can anyone refute that God is good? I think not!

So it begins.......

I always said that I would not blog no matter how much my brother told me it was important. But now standing on the edge of another adventure in following God's love and will around the world, I think that it is finally time. 

I am hoping that all of you who read it and know me will hear my voice as I express my emotions and share my stories every step of the way. I am sure you can imagine my hands just going as much as ever as I talk and that you can hear me stumbling over my words because I have gotten so excited that the words are literally pouring out of my mouth. For those of you who do not know me, I hope that the stories of God's grace and provision inspire you to turn control over to Him so completely. 

May my blog bless you and bring glory to God!!!

I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful blogship ;)


P.S. Stay posted for more posts and pictures!!!
