Logistical updates:

 God spoke “leadership”, and “January”, when I was in Z.A. and this is what it’s turning out to be (from what I understand right now):

•  In 9-10 days I will be road tripping from DE to Gainsville, GA to start at CGA (leadership & discipleship program)!! I’ll be there for 5+ months (from January 14th to May 27th) and I’m super thankful and excited for this opportunity!!! 
• On October 27th, 2021, I was accepted to lead on semesters (1-3 month) mission trips starting in the summer (right after CGA). The funny thing is that semesters wasn’t even on my list of choices, but I guess it was on God’s heart for me, so I’m all about it!!

What about the Kyrgyzstan trip in the summer?

As some of you know, I had mentioned applying to go on a Kyrgyzstan mission trip in the summer, but because I was accepted to lead semesters in the summer, I wouldn’t be going on the Kyrgyzstan trip… so this is an interesting dilemma, kinda? I’m praying about it all because Kyrgyzstan is still on my heart for some reason, and at the same time I’m so excited to lead a young group of missionaries (18-22 year olds). Like, come onnnn, how sweet is God??? Beyond sweet!!

 & so, what I have learned in my 24 years of life is that you can plan things all you want, but the LORD’s plans are better… so we’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you guys posted for sure. 🙂 For now, I ask that you guys pray for me. Please pray for wisdom, and that I give all my anxieties to the LORD… there have been so many drastic changes in my life that have been hard to digest, but God has been faithful.

With much love,

J <3
