peace!!!

i leave for Kenya in the morning!!!
today, i got to spend my morning in worship and prayer with some of my wonderful friends from church. afterward, my best friend and her little sis came and spent the day with me. they helped me get my last minute shopping done (i got a bunch of snacks) and pack. it was a low-key day which is what i love about my friends. we are so laid back. tonight, i ended my day with worship and prayer with some of my other friends that live in Moody. waffle house was a great end as well.

i'm so full of the Lord's joy that i can't contain it! it's wonderful! i'm so excited to leave tomorrow and ready! a day with the Lord will definitely prepare you. i love you guys and i hope i get to post on here; if not, go to www.restoration-ministries.com to keep posted on our adventures.

Come away with Me

My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.
See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”

Song of Solomon 2:10-13

As i prepare for Kenya, i consistently ask the Lord if I am truly ready to go. "Am I prepared? I am not prepared." I have been going to a Song of Solomon Bible study these last few weeks. We studied this passage above this week. it was explained to me that the Lord, our beloved, is calling us to come out of our comfort zone. He is asking us to come with Him to go on this adventure with Him. He does not want us to recoil in fear and yet we do when He wants us to do something new. I have been in this waiting period and now it is time to do something radical. this is new and Kenya will be a start for a new season. I cannot wait to see where He will take me in our journey together. i'm ready to run with Him and for Him. Are you?
