Welcome to my Brazil Adventures blog!!!



Here is where new stories, pictures, prayer requests, adventure updates, and reflections will be posted throughout my trip and most likely even after. I invite you to share this amazing opportunity with me (even from a distance) as this mission would not be possible without the prayers, love and support from each of you!

In Him,
Lacey

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

So... there was this time I thought I had my flight booked...

Not gunna lie, my stomach dropped when I talked to the travel agency yesterday and realized that I had never officially booked my ticket, but what she was emailing me were proposed flights.... Awesome. 


Praise God that I could still get on a flight for the same day... now its just at 6:09am. Really early :P 


Best part of that story: The flight was cheaper
God truly has a way of making our silly human mistakes work out. 
Boy am I glad He is so much bigger than me!! 


This week I have been spending time with family and friends, and while it has been wonderful, it has also been really hard. I struggle with trying to please everyone else, I mean, people for some reason like to spend time with me... But there is only one week and one of me to share in that week! Getting flustered has been an understatement. 


Yesterday I got to have a sister date with my youngest, Payton (7). We went to Champoeg State Park, went on a walk, then drove around trying to find The Butteville Store so we could have some yummy Tillamook ice cream. Afterwards we went home and baked some snickerdoodles for the BBQ I went to at Memorial Park in Wilsonville with some friends from Corvallis. Was a great day with great people!




Was chatting with Sarah Cole about Brazil after everyone else left. That girl has been an angel sent from God Himself. I would not feel as prepared as I am without her, though last night's conversation brought along a lot of emotions. I was finally able to let the anxious tears roll. I needed a good cry and that's what I had. 


I fly out in 3 days, and while I should be working on packing my suitcases... I am gunna hit up Portland with some of my most favorite girls. 
Pedis. Sunshine. Laughter. Pictures. Free dinner. The Bridge. Memories. 
I am ready to ignore my packing list and enjoy this beautiful day God has so graciously given me to have with my beautiful friends, Christine, Kalee, Sarah and Rachel.
