While I was in Estonia God overtook my heart with feeling for the country. He tenderly started pushing a calling of possible interning over there for the whole summer next year and confirmed it in multiple ways before I left. After talking to my parents tonight it is official. Next summer I am returning to Eesti to intern alongside my new brothers in Christ, Innar and Andrus. It will cost $4,000 to go but I am not worried about collecting the money because God will provide and there are ten long months to collect it. I am going to do whatever I have to to earn this money. Babysit, work for my dad, possibly get a new job, send support letters, and do a couple of fundraisers throughout the year. If you are reading this and feel led to donate money let me know. If you want a letter or info about fundraisers let me know. If you are willing to pray for it... please get started, you dont have to let me know if you dont want to. ha.
Anyways, I am struggling with being back. When I say that Estonia has a portion of my heart dont take it lightly. My heart is broken for Estonia, yet joy is brought to me through thinking of my trip and new found friendships. There are things that have just been started over there and God is going to be doing some big things in the future. The kids at our camp are the future of the country. God has chosen some kids with big hearts so Estonia better watch out. Gosh, I am ready to be back. God is good. And as Sam Cole has taught me, "God does not need me. He doesnt need me at all but, he WANTS me."
Love you, Tricia. He wants you :)
