Excerpts from my update letter

              This year has been a whirlwind in so many ways. I finished my photography degree, took a trip to Myanmar, moved to Florida with my family, and then God brought this opportunity to serve as a missionary! I am so humbled and grateful that He would call me to go do the things I love, photography and video work, in His service. It is such an amazing opportunity to further His kingdom in Spain. 
                I keep going back to the fact that God is in control of when I get to Spain, He will do it in His timing, and I am happy to wait on Him for my support and trust Him to provide it how He wants to. I feel that God is constantly teaching me to humble myself and put my trust in Him for everything. I fully expect Him to teach me this for the rest of my life. I know I have just begun, but I have already seen Him provide from unexpected corners. In The Chronicles of Narnia: the Silver Chair, Aslan tells Jill that she must keep ever watchful for signs of the way that He is leading her. Like Jill, I am striving to be vigilant for the signs of God’s grace and His mighty hand.

               I’m learning to lay aside my expectations of how He is going to work and just watch for the signs of His grace in my life. It’s not the easiest journey, but it is a good one.
