Taking Off

And so the day approaches...Tuesday, early  morning I board the plane to Honolulu airport and then to Japan from there. It is so strange to be saying goodbye to these people that I am still getting to know. And as we are leaving others are arriving from their outreaches, I get to see a glimpse of what I will be experiencing when I arrive back here in Kona three months from now for a week of debrief. It is causing me to desire closer and more intimate friendships, which is perfect because that is exactly what I will be experiencing for the next three months ;)
I just found out that we will be having Japanese lessons every morning for the first month from one our lovely hosts, how sweet it is of her to be taking out time of her schedual just so that we can get around more easily. I am so excited, I love learning languages. She teaches ESL so we will also be helping her with that during the day and doing other things to help her church. I have no more details other than those, but I will post them as soon as I get more.
God is so good, I find my stability in Christ so I have no fear of change or of what is to come. It really puts me at ease to know that I know the Creator of the world and He knows me, i have no reason to worry. What an honor, yeah? (<<<had to throw in a little hawaiian) This week I have been talking to some friends about the fact that we are untouchable as christians, because our treasure is not in this world. This means nothing can really affect us! what an awesome thing! hahaha
This fires up my heart to live a life of no fear.
I love you all and miss you so much, but on the mission field is where my heart thrives.
I will have no phone for the next three months so please email or facebook to get ahold of me ;)
naturally,
demetria
