3 days

IM GOING TO FIJI IN 3 DAYS!

I really really give thanks to God for this trip. There has been lots of things happening that would have caused a cancelation of this trip for myself personally, but at the end, the Lord openned up a way for me to go!

I actually thought that I wouldnt of been able to go because of my school status. And I prayed. I didnt pray directly that I would get to go to Fiji actually...I prayed that I would follow God's plan for me, and for Him to use me greatly wherever He chooses to put me. And YAY at the end, I get to go to Fiji!

Hm...So a lot of brothers and sisters have been worried about me in the past few weeks. I guess they were worried I wouldnt be able to handle the things thrown at me at this time. But trust me, God never gives us any more than we can handle. I am fine, and I learned to rejoice through this. Thanks for your prayers and support, I am glad God gave me such a caring family, and that He causes all things to work together for good.

A thankful heart...thats what brother fish has been sharing about recently. I think I really do need to be more thankful. As I've said before (in older posts), I used to take a lot of things for granted. I am better now, but I need to be more thankful....for all the experiences with God that I have, for every detailed thing that God has given me, because I am truly blessed beyond measure!

Its true...actually when I told some of my friends I'm going on a missionary trip, they were quite concerned lol. They told me I seemed too "spoiled", "high mantenance" or "princessy" to go to a poorer country alone. I guess I could see where they are coming from. I have tons of people that care for me and take care of me, and people always strive to give me what I want. But honestly, one of my goals when I was little (well younger) was to be able to give up my "luxuries" for God. I have been willing to do that for quite some time now, but really being willing and actually doing are two different things. I really give thanks for this trip so that I may give up some luxuries at least temporarly and step out of what I'm comfortable with, and be able to give to others my greatest greatest treasure, that is more luxurious than any thing....that is God Himself.

Oh dear, I've typed too much.
Peace out, and pray for Fiji please!
