In Over My Head

It's official- I'm going back to Slovakia. I'm really excited about it but at the same time feel overwhelmed. One year was one thing, but this is different. This isn't how I ever would have planned my own life, but I feel like this is where God's calling me. And in a way I want to ask Him if He's kidding. I was meeting with Jill last week, and she helped me put my thoughts into words- she asked "you feel like you're in over your head?" That's exactly how I feel- I'm in over my head. What's a small town South Carolina girl doing moving to Slovakia? But Jill encouraged me to study some stories of people from the Bible who were also in over their head but exactly where God wanted them and where He really used them. I think about people like Esther and Joseph, and I'm reminded that God is always faithful. I pray that He will use me.

The Kosice Peace Marathon is this weekend!

Kind of wish I was there to run it. But kind of not.

That was painful.
