I was really looking forward to this semester to start in December. I guess what I was really excited for was this week it feels more like we are actually seriously preparing to go. I’m really just so excited to learn more about Cameroon. I’m looking forward to learning about the field we are going to and also to learn about a variety of things that will help us when we go over there and also in future ministries. I’m excited to grow more as a team, it is really sad that some of our members have left but I’m excited to grow really close to the ones that are left. It will be really interesting to see how each person leads devotions on their day. I’m so excited to grow in my walk with Christ, and also see everyone else grow as well.
The thing I am most nervous about for this whole trip is the food. I’m not really sure how I can spend the next few months preparing for this. All I can think of is praying really hard. I’m not so much nervous but rather stressed about some of the big assignments that I have to do for this semester. But I know that I did it last semester and I did well makes me feel more confidence I really just need to take Matthew 6:34 to heart. Maybe I’ll start saying it to myself whenever I feel like I’m getting worried.
I can’t say I learned anything really profound over the holidays. My break was almost like a break from learning. I know we never stop learning but compared to the weeks before, the break was really just a time of recharging for me. Something that I did spend sometime thinking about over the break is that I really need to make it a priority to spend time with God everyday. Last semester I didn’t really put much of an effort into finding time in my schedule. I’m sad to think of how little time I actually spent alone with God last semester. I have learned how important it is to spend time with God. I really noticed during the holidays that I actually missed the time I used to spend with God and just really enjoy being in his presence.
