And so it begins....

It's official! The support letters are going out this week. There's a certain sense of excitement mixed with apprehension as I begin this process again. It's different now going down to Mission Adelante because it gets harder and harder to leave. I am often down in Kansas City, Kansas (KCK) 5 nights a week now. I have to come to think of it as home.

I have been so encouraged by my friends and family as God has invited me into this very exciting journey. I am sure it must seem scary to them that I would choose to leave the securities of the "world" behind but my friend Jael once taught me something very wise. She said that the worldly jobs and securities that we have can be taken away at anytime. However, if we trust in God and His awesome plans for our life, we have the ULTIMATE job security. That's why I have such peace about accepting the position of Director of Kids Adelante; I know God has called me to this. As Jarrett (Director of Mission Adelante ) says, "God always pays for what He asks for."

It has also been so beautiful to me to see how God has begun to open my heart to the women's ministry as well. I have had many moms come and ask ME for advice about their children. It seems a bit funny to me as I am not a mother myself. However, I think that they see the way that I love their children and I would hope they know that I would do anything for their family. I am just excited for God to continue to grow that heart in me because I feel very burdened for the women of Mission Adelante to see that their truest worth lies in God!
