Alright so... I was sitting outside in my backyard with my family the other night and I began thinking about all the times I have already encountered God through this trip thus far and i havent even left yet... When i started talking to my parents about going to Amsterdam they had no idea who was taking us, when I would be going, how I would be getting there, and the list goes on.
When i got the first email about the trip, i remembered asking God to give my parents some kind of peace about me going whether it be them knowing someone or which ever way He wanted. I met them at dinner that night and showed them the email i had printed off and shortly after reading it, my mom says, "I know Calley Crews' parents!" (the woman who is taking us) Cool, i know :)
I remember talking to my mom about the financial aspect of the trip and telling her that if i was truly supposed to go, God would provide, and he would find a way for me to go regardless of how much money it required. Its cool the way God moves in a natural way. All of my support money and plus some came in within about two weeks.
So here I am, believing that God will continue to go before me, that He has a plan for me and the women that i am going with, and that He will work in such a way that only He can. And that He will not only speak through me to the Women of Amsterdam, but that He will also speak to me through them.

To those of you who are following this blog and praying for me, here are some of my prayer requests:
-Pray that i will encounter with the exact women that I am supposed to meet.
-Pray for our safety in our travel, PLEASE.
-Pray that God will show others Hope, Healing, and Love through my hands and my feet and my story.
-Pray that God will hold me together, we all know how emotionally draining this will be.
-Pray that we, as a team, will be spiritually and mentally prepared for what is to come.
-Pray that the women that we will meet with be prepared for the message we are bringing.
-Pray that God will create divine appointments for each of us.

I am so thankful that I get to rest assured that God goes before me and prepares a way for me.
