Well, my last official day of work was Saturday January 12th. Sunday the 13th was a great morning at Millport: I felt so loved and supported by my church family, and I was very happy to see that John and Becky Thompson from Green Meadow Farm came! They're becoming such great friends of mine because of their obvious love for and direct obedience to Jesus Christ. (The whole team at G. M.F. is pretty special, actually).
Kerry, my pastor, asked some commitment questions, which brought the entire process of going to Kenya into perspective. Daryl and Mary Martin led the commissioning prayers for me, and that was definitely the best thing :)
My mom also made it a really special day for me -in her usual way, which is telling me that she's happy for me and focusing on me and understanding how I'm feeling. She does so much for my whole family every day <3.
My first day of training was today, and it was so good to meet the EMM staff and the other GO! participants. There are six of us total, 4 girls and two guys.
It was an exellent time of learning about discipleship and what it means to follow Jesus and live for Him. I've been reading so many good books and miscellaneous quotes lately, and some of those really tied in. God has really been reaching out to me and showing me a whole new perspective on my life with Him through a little book called "A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23" lately. It is an in-depth anaylsis of the Psalm and shows me paralells that mean so much more than I understood just within that one Psalm.
