‘The Lord says, “Forget what happened before, and do not think about the past. Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don’t you see it?”
To evangelize a person is to say to him or her; you, too, are loved by God in the Lord Jesus. And not only to say it but to really think it and relate it to the man or woman so they can sense it. This is what it means to announce the Good News. But that becomes possible only by offering the person your friendship; a friendship that is real, unselfish, without condescension, full of confidence, and profound esteem.
My application process is now complete. It’s official: I’m leaving at the end of July for Kosrae! I couldn’t be happier. This has been such a weight off my shoulders and an answer to prayer. Thank you to everyone who’s been praying, I know I need your prayers now more than ever!
Once again, to any who are interested, I’m documenting my journey on lettersfromtheisland.tumblr.com. Feel free to check it out, I would love to hear from you while I’m over there!

My unending love
is more vast than the oceans.
It will swallow you.
Your existence can never be replicated or replaced. You are here on this earth for a purpose that is unique to you and only you. Never doubt the weight of importance you hold in this life.
