twenty-six days and counting.

Its almost here. In twenty-six days I will be loading up a ford escape that will be traveling down to Orlando, Florida to fullfill the calling God has on my life. I can't believe it's so soon. I can recall all the way back to 9th grade when I got back from Albania thinking to myself this is what I want to do when I get out of high school. It seemed like a petty dream back then, but as time was slowly ticking away, I found the dream to become reality for me. God was slowly but surely preparing me for what his plans were for my life. I even can remember last year thinking to myself... college or following God's will?... On the outside view, the choice seemed real easy. I wish I could say the same for the worldly view. Everyone thought, you, Joanne straight A Renshaw, not going to college? Even one of my best friends disagreed with this choice. Yet, I knew God's voice was so evident in this will he had for me. I had some support of my family but I had the overflowing support of my church family. Also God reassured me in so many different ways of my life. He even wrote it down for me once. Im not joking. God is so good. So since I was born, God was preparing me for this. He knew long ago I would be taking hold of this journey to learn so much more about him and the things he wants to teach me through that. So keep reading, while I keep posting, the amazing things Im about to learn and experience with our God.
