I realize I have over 4 months before I go to Brazil. But, did you just hear that I only have 4 MONTHS UNTIL I GO TO BRAZIL!!! Ok I am done shouting. As my roommate put it I have way to long to start freaking out now. But, there are moments when I do not have victory over my emotions and my irrational fears begin to show and I once again need to give my cares to God for Him to hold. And I know He holds them and cares for them much better than I can.
Ok so little time and so much to do. Timelines have always been hard on me, I get things done but usually just in time. But, I am trying hard to get things done sooner. My visa is still not even applied for yet. I am waiting for letters to arrive from Brazil that I need to send in with my application. I am praying the mail delivery services take good care of them and that they arrive soon. I feel that there may not be enough time for me to feel accomplished in speaking Portuguese before I leave and that is to say nothing about the ministries and tasks in Brazil that God maybe calling me to do that I have no confidence to complete.
Wow those things are kind of a downer. Now on to what God is doing. He continues to give me time to complete my tasks and friends along the way to encourage me. I am filling up my free time with memories I will take with me to Brazil and I am planning fun trips along the way. God has also given me snow, yes for those of you in the Northern States of the USA you might think I am crazy but for someone who is moving to a country without snow I am soaking it up and loving the cold and beauty of God's creation. That said if you are in MN and want to do a winter activity with me please let me know!
Thanks for reading and I hope that by next week I will have an update on my Visa and my next step towards Brazil!
