Well, Well. I have only a week and a half until I will be leaving the United States and everything and everyone that I know for a whole month.
I am starting to get super-excited! I am looking forward to utilizing this month to it's greatest potential. I will grow closer to God, have an opportunity to learn a new language, meet new people, and to love these children like crazy.
I know the flesh will want to go home where it is comfortable and easy, but the spirit will be drawing me to come close to God, to feel his heart for the rest of the world. To jump into this new opportunity and to open my eyes to the spread of the kingdom of God.
God will stretch me, and grow me and hopefully bring me into closer relationship with him.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support both prayerfully and financially.

The Pre-Journey
It is amazing to me how God has brought this opportunity to me. One day I was at church and I stopped to visit with Dr. Reyes and his family. "What are you doing this summer, Katie?" "Nothing," I replied. He told me to consider interning with Buckner as it would be a good experience and maybe it would lead to a future position once I graduate.
"What have I to lose?" I thought and I applied. Through conversations with friends they encouraged me in this adventure. When I was having second thoughts or wondering if this is really for me, they carried on for me. They were excited and they began to instill a passion and excitement within me to go and work with the Romanians.
At times I wonder if this is really going to happen; I am lacking funds and I don't even know what to expect. This is the biggest adventure that I have ever risked taking. "Are you sure God that this is what I am supposed to do?"
I am ready to jump in, to risk my comfort, my easy life for the sake of furthering the kingdom of God. I know that He did greater things, He risked His very life. I will gladly give a month of my life to go and love these people, to love them like Jesus.
Thanks to you all who have encouraged me and who are praying for this great adventure that I will embark on officially in only two weeks!
