Standing on the edge

10 and a half hours away till I get into the van, and i start on an adventure to Haiti with 13 other amazing people...i am not often at a loss for words...but at this point i am.

I am standing at the edge of something totally new and unexpected...but i am not afraid. I know that God loves me. I know He is standing up there saying "Rachel, you got this, i put you here, i guided your path, and i still will. You are my child."

This morning something amazing happened, i got a forwarded email from my mother, it was a prayer request that she sent out to my family, now my family is a Christian family, but we never really talk about our faith. But to know that my parents are praying for me, and that they believe in the power of prayer brought me to tears. I am crying now as i write this. My parents are amazing and their support, while not always expressed in this adventure has been amazing.

So this is my last post until i return. I know that if you are reading this you are praying for me too, and i thank you so much for that.

See you when i get back (:
