I'm heading off to Abbotsford tomorrow. I will be there for two weeks getting "tested" and "analyzed" to see if I'm fit to be a missionary. My first three days include 2 hour sessions/day with psychologists who assess my mental and spiritual health, and then a week long program that I forgot to ask any questions about. So, for those of you who are interested to know what I'll be doing there, I apologize. I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I'm meeting with psychologists and that I'm there for 2 weeks. I also know that I have my formal interview with MBMSI leadership on May 6th and that's when I find out if I've made the grade or not. So, I ask that you pray that God's will be done in this situation. Whether in or out, it doesn't matter to me...just so long as we are following His leading.
Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement and all the prayers. I know that many of you have been walking behind me in this journey that I'm on and I so appreciate it! Thanks for all the interest. My emotions have been so scattered, so there are times where this is really hard, and times where all I want is to be in Thailand, and times where I wonder what the heck I'm doing...all I know is that I'm not alone in this and that God is carrying me through, so I'll keep going, pressing on towards the place I know God is calling me.
Have a great couple of weeks friends!! I'll see you all in the middle of May!

Have fun having your brain picked.
Hey Jess! I had to go through a similiar process to get into my company. At the end I felt like a rat in a maze. I think they just came to terms with my quirks and accepted me anyway. Be careful how you answer those questions like "Do you hear voices in your head?" or "Do you think someone is out to get you?". And if you take the same health quiz I took, have fun. Some of the questions were like "Do you have frequent fainting/seizures?" and "Do you lose feeling in any of your limbs for extended periods of time?" I mean, really, if I was, would I be sitting there answering a health quiz? I think not!
Honestly, it's not all that bad. I mean, Beth and I passed. And look at us! I gotta go...the voices in my head are arguing again.
I most certainly will be praying for you that God's wisdom will overflow in you and that his sense of calm will cover you in that two days. The world lives by a different set of guidelines as to who is "fit" to handle mission work. It may be a christian organization, but in the world of the "shrink" they often make up their own rules.
All you need to do is remind yourself....God called me to do this....God opened the door for me to do this.....God will make this happen.
Know it, believe it and live it. Nothing else besides what God calls you to do matters.
Go their simply praying God's will be done. You'll be fine.
(As long as you don't wear that long green sweater again) Saturday night was so much fun.
You should wear the sick python shoes.
Have a good two weeks... every day will be like Christmas. A big surprise!
Amber you are so funny!!!
Thanks for all the encouragement friends!!!
