Next week I will be embarking on a new journey. All of this has happened so fast I have barely had a chance to comprehend it all. But regardless I am so excited! I will be moving to Lisbon, Portugal for the summer to volunteer. While I am in Lisbon I will be volunteering in a local food bank. Once I am settled, I am hoping to also volunteer with in another program. However, I will not know if there is availability until I get there. I do not know many specifics of the work I will be doing due to having the openness to adapt to areas where help is needed the most and having a flexible schedule to accommodate that.
I am excited for this new chapter in my life. I am hoping to grow more while I am living alone in a foreign country, to get outside my comfort zone, and to experience a new culture. I am excited to serve and bless those in Lisbon. Part of my decision to put a pause on my life in Michigan is that I am realizing how short life is. I want to take advance of all new opportunities. I realized this summer was my best opportunity to do this adventure of volunteering abroad.
But be sure to fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24
