i'm going back to boston.
#onlyGod
it is crazy for me to look back on the year that it took me to get from "hmmm...what is this boston nonsense stirring in me?" to actually going... and then boom, just like that...i'm going back three months later. it would be unbelievable, except that it's God. so, it's not unbelievable.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:14
my friend michelle (not to be confused with my sister michelle) is an RN and went back to school to be a Nurse Practitioner. this was all online, but her school is physically in Boston. and she has to go there. but...she broke her leg running (not cool. seriously not cool.)
michelle asked if maybe anyone in our small group would be interested in joining her in Boston to help her maneuver the city with a wheelchair/walker.... um, yes please.
so fast forward. thursday, me and another friend, missi, are headed to boston with michelle.
the last time God sent me to Boston...He sent me with a bunch of teenagers i didn't know and SO FAR out of my comfort zone.
this time He is sending me with two beautiful women that i love...but with a wheelchair and some cold weather and i might be just as nervous, or dare i say...more nervous than last time?
random note: while we were in boston on the youth mission trip, we had daily devotionals that took us through the book of philippians. our student pastor chose this intentionally because it was both relevant and he knew we were going to have a series at church taking us through the book. and that's exactly what we've been going through the last 9 weeks. i will miss the last sermon this sunday, while in boston. the two trips were "book-ended" with the book of philippians. cool.
i will say this...i still have NO CLUE what God has in store for me and Boston. the last trip was such a blessing in so many ways...and honestly, none of them were truly about the city...but the city got me there. and now i go back...so maybe it's NOT the city...but the city is a path to lead me where He wants me to go. i don't know. but i can honestly say that where i struggle to be patient and wait on Him...but with Boston, i am ok. just waiting and following and taking the next step that He puts there.
i can say for sure, that the thought of Boston still makes my heart skip a beat...and as long as that keeps happening, i'll keep going.

Prayer Prompt:
- safe travels on Thursday to Boston for me, Michelle and Missi.
- comfort and excitement as we maneuver a strange city in a strange way
- and maybe good weather (the forecast is not promising)
