About two weeks ago I was digging through a box of stuff trying to find something when lo and behold - I see this bracelet. This was given to me by my piano students (sisters) who'd traveled to Ecuador for mission work with their dad. It's been probably two, maybe three years since then and I'd forgotten about it. Seeing it there in that box gave me a little thrill of joy. It was as if God had sent me a little message - years ago - that I'd be on my way to Ecuador soon. I just didn't realize it at the time. :)
When I first heard of Global Encounters 3 years ago, I knew it was something I wanted to do. It wasn't possible then, but I kept up with the ministry through email, newsletters and blogs. All during that time I thought I would go on their Colombia trip (which is happening right now, by the way) but when the time came to finalize my application, I settled on Ecuador. To see this bracelet now weeks after the decision was made, gave me confirmation of His will. It is so exciting to follow our Lord!
Just 50 days now to Ecuador - I can't believe it's so close. (The time between now and then will fly by as my schedule is very full.) Please keep me in your prayers. Preparations have begun already and there's still so much to do. I'm not looking forward to packing - taking what I need and not too much of it! :)
