A Week Until Departure

With only one week until I spend over 24 hours travelling, I cannot be more excited to see what God has in store for the next year of my life. The entire beginnings of my decision to move to Miami simply started with the following scripture: 


Galatians 1:10- Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.


When deciding what my post graduation life would be, graduate school was the practical earthly decision that would have been easy to agree with; however, my heart was not focused on any particular master's degree or educational location. The only passion I knew of was my passion for Christ. With this in mind, I turned to him for my guidance, leaving all friends and family basically in the dark. No one knew I was considering anything other than graduate school, but when my prayers were answered, there was no holding back from telling others because I was confident in my choices. 
Here we are, one week before I leave, and I still feel as passionate as I did about this move when it was first laid on my heart. My mission ahead of me is one that will be full of challenges, but will test my abilities and talents while being an extremely intentional servant to Christ. 
Please pray that all goes well with the move, training, and the start of what will be an amazing year!
