Herrera Herald: On the verge

On the verge

On the eve of my semester in Nicaragua, I feel a bit scattered. There are a lot of emotions and expectations buzzing around in my head. I'm grateful to my friends and family for reminding me to focus on the good and trust God in everything.

All summer I focused on the present without getting too excited for Nicaragua because it still lay far in the future. Now it's here! Prayer would be great. I keep taking a few minutes to surrender my life here and my life there to God. I will miss things, but I will gain things too. My life is in His hands...
