Preparation

In a little over a month I am going to Honduras with a team from Grace Campus. I am really excited and looking forward to the plans that God has laid out for me. I don't know many people on the team yet, only those that I knew before. I am eager to meet them and make new friends. I can't wait to share this journey with them. While we are there we will be at a private school helping with maintenance and interacting with students who live there. These students are chosen each year to attend this school, because the Honduran government only pays for education through the 5th or 6th grade. This school allows the students to continue their education, however each student has to reapply each year. The students who are in desperate need to attend are the ones that do.
For this summer I am planning to study abroad in Florence, Italy. I will be going with a groups of girls from Auburn. I finally meet with an adviser from the Study Abroad office on Friday and got a better feeling of what I needed to be doing to get all my paperwork in order. Going to Europe has been a dream for so long now, that I can't believe that it is actually happening. I get so excited just thinking about it. I am looking forward to learning about a new culture and gaining a new prospective on life and the world around me. God created this Earth for us and I want so much to see and learn all about it. I know that some how he will use this passion inside me to bring praise to his name. What an exciting gift to have!!
