This week is going well, not much interesting news to report!
Ive been thinking a lot lately about going to Italy with Crusade for Spring break...
I really really want to...I think it would be such a great learning experience and I would get the chance to really step outside of my comfort zone and grow spiritually. Last year I was going to go, but due to a lot of personal issues I cancelled at the last minute...although I do regret not going, my heart was not in the right place to be able to experience the trip to the fullest. However, I am walking so much closer with the Lord now, and think (and i do emphasize THINK) i might be ready to do this.
SO,
Pros- It would definitely be something I have never done, and would give me the opportunity to grow closer to God and to other members of the Crusade group. I would love to go to Italy. I truely desire to give my heart over to the Lord's work and push myself to become closer to Him.
Ok, now I must confess that i am absolutely TERRIFIED to do this. Im more of an "equip the saints" girl, not so great at "reaching the lost". Ive never really shared my story with anyone and I dont think I would really know how to talk to someone about Jesus who has never heard the gospel/been to church. It would be a HUGE leap of faith for me. more like a catapult of faith. leap was putting it lightly. Also, airports terrify me and so does the unknown...both of which would be predominantly featured in this spring break trip. Im literally getting nervous thinking about it. ahhh!!! Logistically, its scary as well. Terror attacks, international travel, theives, kidnappings, all of that is a distinct possibility.
SO,
Cons- AIRPORTS, sharing with the lost and stepping outside of my comfort zone of the Bible belt, trusting the Lord completely with raising support and all of the logistical issues, international travel and dangers abroad.
This is whats going through my mind a lot recently...Questions and Comments/Encouragements greatly appreciated.
