Welcome to my wonderful life. This is for all of you special people who want to stay update about my journey to Spain! It's been a crazy process and I've definitely had some overwhelming moments when I've questioned the Lord on why I'm doing this. I am going to be away from home for 4 months. I will not be able to go back and I will be missing a lot of Daddy hugs. That will be rough. I will be missing the birth of my second nephew which kills me a little. I will be away from family and friends, but I will be experiencing this amazing new culture. God is going to grow my sooo much. I can't wait to see what I learn and what the Lord teaches me. On top of it all I get to share this experience with two of my closest friends, Bethany Peevy and Hayley Hill. Who would have ever thought God would have placed us in our lives for so long and on such a crazy adventure. I will be learning Spanish and meeting new people. I will learn to live on my own and provide for myself. Above all though I will be able to see my faith when no one is there to watch. I will be able to fully experience God. I will see Him help through the struggles and push me when I need it. He will grow me and teach me so much. I can not wait! That is something to be excited for. I want my life to be His and I think this will be a real test of faith, to see if I can live it out when I'm not at home. I pray that I will. I pray that His name will be made known, that our lives will reflect what He has done in our lives. 

Thank you for all your support. I pray that we have lots of prayers sent our way for this journey in our lives. It will be an amazing one, but we are not ignorant to the hardship that is likely to come with it. Pray God is at the center of our lives and that we come back with an even great love for Him. 

I hope you all can experience the trip along the way! I will post lots of pictures and keep everyone updated. Don't expect consistency till we are closer to leaving too. 

We will fly out of NWA on January 4, 2013! 

Running to the Father's arms.
