Guatemala Update!

Hello ALL! 

So there has been many questions pertaining to a post I posted on facebook. In this post I stated that some changes about my move to Guatemala has taken place. Well! I am here to answer those questions! 

I guess its really just one question that leads to many more, so instead of explaining to everyone I decided that writing about it would be easiest! 

Q1- What has changed? 

Good of ya'll to ask! 

Originally September was my goal for moving. That has changed to January 2017. 

Q2- Why did you change it?

Many reasons played a factor. 

- God. I realized September was my plan, and God has a different plan. He has brought some changes about in my life and through them I have learned that He is sovereign still. 

- School/work- As many of you know, I graduate in may! 33 days to be exact (not that I am counting) I approached this semester knowing it was going to be tough. I am currently enrolled in 21 hours and am working about 40 hours a week. My life is hectic. Due to trying to graduate and maintain some kind of sanity I have been unable to fundraiser as much as I had hoped. 

- Personal Problems- This has been the toughest season of life for me this semester. I have battled depression, cutting, and many other things. Spiritually and emotionally I do not think I am in a place to move. There are many giants in my life that I am working on facing. I am seeking help and wise council as well as have friends who hold me accountable. I am on the road to healing and freedom but its a road that is a little longer than I hoped. 

Q3- So what now? 

Good question. I am not able to be a normal college graduate and freak out about what is next? 

Recently, as in last week God has placed a wonderful graduation trip on my path. GUATEMALA! This summer my close friend and I are going to Guatemala for a little over a month. I know many people as why visit if im moving? Well. 

1. I get to introduce my friend to the kids who have my heart! :)
2. I feel God is leading me back to remind me why He has placed Guatemala on my heart. 
3. Its a graduation present from my wonderful big brother. 
4. I want the kids to know that I am still planning on living with them. I don't want to change my plans and then they feel I am backing out of the move. 

Yes plans have changed. No I am not, not moving. 

After our June 5th- July 18th trip I am not sure what I will do. I will no longer be a student therefore I will no longer have an apartment on campus. Most likely I am moving home and getting a part time job. 

My full time job will be fund raising. I will speak at churches and to individuals about possible partnering with me in the ministry! So if you know a church or anyone who may be interested feel free to give them my email!

So due to those three aspects my move has changed, but rest assured I am still moving to Guatemala! 

So those are the top three questions I have gotten! Thank you all for following me on this journey! To receive email updates please just email me and say you would like to be added to the list.
