Blessed.

Time is a ticking away. I am down to the last week and a half of school. oh boy, has it flown by! I must say I happily welcome summer. What college kid longs for more time in school? Pleaseee. 

Anywho, along with the end of the school year, comes thoughts of my quickly approaching year in Pohnpei. Today I checked on my fundraising and I am touched by all my friends and family who have given so graciously. THANK YOU!! I am so blessed (hence the title) to have such humble people in my life. God continues to show me that He has big plans in store for me. 

As I was spending some time with Jesus tonight, I came across a fitting verse to share with you all. 

" At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need." 2 Corinthians 8:14

I hope to return all the kindness and love that people have shown me. 

Uncontained excitement!!

This July I am Pohnpei bound. I decided to begin a blog so that my friends and family can have a sneak peak at my life as a student missionary. Yes, I am aware that I have 4 months until my journey actually begins…BUT I simply could not wait to begin the blogging process, especially because Pohnpei consumes 99% of my thoughts these days. I graciously allow the other 1% to go to school (your welcome mom and dad).

As of right now, I have a mix of emotions about leaving everything I know for one year. I am very excited. wait, that didn’t do it justice, I AM EXCITED!!! (insert me jumping up and down here). Although, I also have the butterflies because I know that this year will have its up’s and down’s.

I named my blog butterfly adventures not only because I am a wee bit nervous about my upcoming adventures, but also because like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, I want my year as a student missionary to transform me into the lady that God intended me to be. I ask for your prayers as I prepare to be the very best SM I can be:)
