Hey friends!
First off I would like to say thank you again for your support on this new adventure! People would ask "are you sure you'll get the money?" My answer was always yes, I knew God was calling me to overseas missions. But never did I expect it to happen so fast. Everything fell right into place. It was a gentle reminder that my worldly eyes are just that, worldly eyes. The plans God has are far greater than the ones I've ever planned for myself.
As many of you know I am a Rehabilitation services major at UMF, focusing on trauma and crisis work. I love this field and the opportunity to assist individuals during some of the hardest moments of their life.
These last few years have had many ups and downs, but ultimately I had a steady plan. I finished rehab classes fast, and had a found two jobs I truly loved. I had a home and was fortunate enough to have transportation to and from. Next I would be finding an internship, and applying to graduate school. But here I am, sitting on a bus amongst a sea of strangers thinking, Lord- what am I doing?
I know this trip will be life changing, already it has challenged me in new areas. As I go along I will be updating blog posts, hopefully bi-weekly. Many individuals have asked if there is a way to continue supporting me. The answer is yes! There will be expenses that will arise through out the trip, such as rain boots that just be bought in country etc. If you would like to continue supporting me you can contact my Mom, Robin Arris.
6 months, 3 countries, serving one God. Thank you again, for the prayers, encouragement and support through this entire process!
