On Feb 9th I got my shots at the Greenville County Health Department. Polio, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and Menengitis-- five total. My arms are sore, but it's nothing compared to the excitement that grows more and more each day.
I talked to a friend who is also planning to enter the mission field when he finishes his education. He reminded me that there is no greater joy than sharing the Gospel of Christ with someone who has never heard and who WANTS to hear!
The Lord has given Isaiah 61 to me to really explore and hold close to my heart this semester. Verse 11:
"For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before ALL THE NATIONS."
What a joy to be used of God as a sower and then to sit back watch in awe and wonder as my God causes righteousness and praise to spring up like a gloriously beautiful garden across the entire earth!
