Is this really about to happen...

As some of you may or may not know, this is going to be the story of a huge step of faith in my life. In just over a weeks time I am going to be stepping WAY out of my comfort zone, and doing something I didn't know I would ever do much less do at the age of 21. A week from tomorrow i will be boarding an airplane, leaving the country, trusting in God, and traveling across the world to share his word with others. Me and a team of 5 others will be going to Croatia through our chruch and athletes in action. While we are there we will be teaching a week long basketball camp for kids of all ages.
As I have started to prepare for this and come in contact with people inquiring about my trip one of the first questions people seem to ask is..."are you scared or nervous about anything?" (If you know me well you know I worry and stress about EVERYTHING). So I find it truly a blessing that God has blessed me with a comfort about this trip. Yes it is true that my earthly daddy is going, and as you also probably know I am a daddy's girl so of course there is comfort in this. But I have found that this peace that I am feeling goes way past this. It is God teaching me to trust in him and knowing that he will take care of me.
Last night was our last team meeting before we meet the day of the trip. Everything is coming together so well. I find that everytime I leave to group the some of the first comments I make to my dad when we are in the car driving away is..."I cant wait, Im ready to go right now" and "I love our team, I think it is an amazing group". I think there is a lot to be said for that and I think the team as a whole is realzing that God has brought us all together for a reason!
I look forward to sharing this journy with you as I walk through a bunch of 1st in my life. Please pray for us now as we prepare for what is ahead in the coming days!
In Christ with love,
Britt
