This trip has been a long time coming for me!  Yes, I have always had a heart for missions and as long as the serving was to take place locally I was all in!!!  But God calls us to go to the nations.  That has always frightened me!  Not the people but the plane ride and the food!  I know that sounds ridiculous but it is the case!  What will I eat when I get there.  The past three years have been an incredible journey of God revealing to me all the areas of my life that I do not trust Him with and all of the false idols I have had in my life.  My comfort level being one of them.  Through much pain and suffering comes much growth.  God gets all the glory of what has been done in me! I am so grateful that he never gets tired of allowing me to learn the same lessons over and over.  So, yep, I am putting on my big girl pants and heading to Myanmar to work in some orphanages.  I am grateful that God has given me a deep love of his children and during this trip I expect my heart to explode from both love and sorrow!  I love how the trip does not make any sense for me financially!  Some would say I have no business committing to a trip that in no way I can afford.  And to that I would say, I have prayed and God said yes so now let's see all that He is going to do!  I want to thank you ahead of time for giving of your finances and continuing to pray for me as I prepare for this trip.  The thing I am most frightened of is that once I go, I will never be content in staying.  And won't that be a glorious thing.  Much Love,
Marnie
