Step by Step

I got my acceptance email just a week after I sent in my final application and essay. I literally jumped on my bed because I was so happy. I thanked God and called everyone I thought would listen. I was going to Georgia.

Anticipation.

Fear.

Dread.

Love.

Passion.

Loneliness.

Excitement.

Grace.

Mercy.

All of these feelings hit me all at once the moment I walked out of my sisters’ front door the morning of my flight to Atlanta.

Yikes.

What did I get myself into?

What I knew about Jubilee was what I had read from books and found online…which now knowing things about this place wasn’t all that much.

This is what I thought I knew about this place.

§  These people are kind of like hippies

§  They garden

§  They live together

§  They help resettle refugees

§  refugees are people from Africa

§  it was started in the 70s

§  It was a Christian place

§  I will teach English

§  I will share the Gospel

Wow.  Let me just say how wrong I was. This place is so much more. I hope that through my posts you will get a small understanding of what this amazing place is. How amazing the people are and how close God is here.
