MIA TO ST. LUCIA!
After a delayed flight from Miami to St. Lucia, we are FINALLY HERE ON THE ISLAND!!! It has gotten so real and actually started to hit me. I was super emotional during the flight. I think I cried maybe 3 times before touchdown. Ha. Actually both flights since I left Atlanta. What has been keeping me grounded is the Word, honestly. Each time I get feelings of anxiety or any fear, I read His Word immediately. It’s very amazing actually because for the past 3 days the Verse of the Day on the Bible App has ALL been about : Peace. (No coincidences over here!!) I know that is my Heavenly Father speaking to me and equipping me with the peace that surpasses all understanding.
- John 14:27 NIV ~ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid
- Philippians 4:7NIV ~And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
- Isaiah 26:3NIV ~ You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you
This is a VERY huge move for me and one of the biggest steps I’ve ever taken in life so it requires a great deal of peace, understanding, and willingness to grow from me. I know I can’t do it alone. So i am completely giving it up to Christ and completely trusting Him each day. It may be a challenge because I’ve had issues with complete trust in the past. I will keep you guys posted!! Buuuut I am ready for the journey
The island is also very beautiful!! I will be going through training for the next couple months which is in St. Lucia. The country is very scenic and the people are extremely welcoming. ALSO, it wasn’t as hot as I imagined yesterday. So I’m PRAYING the weather stays consistent and doesn’t burn off my skin (Yes I’m dramatic but fr). Here’s to the first official day as a PCV in country!
