So this is it. I'm going to Berlin.
I knew from freshman year that international ministry was something that I wanted to do but never thought I would be able to do it. Six years in pharmacy school doesn't leave much room for a year abroad. Through the process of changing my major I let go of my plans and started to pray that God would reveal His to me. In the fall, I realized that my heart broke for the city of Berlin and even though I knew Spanish, Germany might actually be where God was leading me after graduation. I trusted that if Cru was my next step and if God wanted me to be in Berlin, He would send me. He surely did. I'm young, adventurous, open, ready, and willing, I have no excuse so I'm going.
This summer I'm praying. Praying and working and praying some more. These next few months are going to be a lot of work and preparation for my year abroad. I have a lot of money to raise before I leave in September. I have a lot of phone calls to make, letters to send, appointments to set up. And so I'm praying that God continues to motivate me. I'm praying that He continues to lead me to the members of my support team. I'm praying that He prepares my heart and mind for ministry over the next year. I'm praying that He will do immeasurably more than all I could ask or imagine.
