T-Minus 24 Hours



This time tomorrow, I will be on a plane to ITALY! Oh my gosh. Im really looking forward to the trip, scary and unknown as it is. i CANNOT wait to get over there and love on the Italians and also grow in my own personal faith. I really want to fall so deeply in love with the Lord and just be able to share His truth with those who don't know. I really really feel like the Lord is calling me to go to Italy, so I know its gonna be worthwhile. Planting seeds :) I'm also sooo looking forward to growing in my own personal knowledge and having fellowship with other believers around me, and hopefully making some new friends while im at it! We are spending most of the trip in Rome, but are also going to Venice, Florence and Cinque Terre.

I am overwhelmed at the number of students who are willing to give up their SBs to fly to Italy and witness to Italians who don't know Christ. It not only reassures me that I made the right college choice, but that there are students like that at Ole Miss. I know crusade is kinda getting to be "the cool thing to do" but I think there are some kids on this trip that are honestly in love with the Lord and can really make an impact for His kingdom.

Ive never been on a mission trip before, and never really dont any sort of "sharing the gospel" at all. So this is obviously a bit out of my comfort zone. I just feel so unworthy of doing that! I mess up every single day!! I don't want to, but I have made some major major mistakes in my life, even recently, and I just feel like who am I to share such a powerful message when I don't always chase after the Lord? I know I'm forgiven and all of that, and I guess I just need to remember that His Amazing love and grace that covers all. But I'm still a little nervous....

This is my last college SB (sooo sad slash scary slash unbelievable).
I cannot imagine a better way to spend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its just something that is sooooo far out of my comfort zone and I don't know what to expect! All i know, is i KNOW I'm supposed to go, and i KNOW the Lord will use us in a powerful way. My motto for the next week is to be open to His plan and not stress! Ready to just dive in and go for it. Cant wait to see how the Lord is going to work!
