As I look off to my right, my suit case is tightly packed, and I've managed to cram in what I can of my materialistic, American self. With my bags packed and butterflies in my stomach, I'm hoping I can fall asleep with all this excitement. I've climbed over my hills of fear and doubt, and finally feel ready. This is certainly going to be an adventure of a lifetime. One thing is for sure-I would not be where I am in this journey if it wasn't for my parents. They have done more for me than I could have hoped for. I appreciate all their help and prayers more than they know. Part of that is due to my lack of showing it. The Lord has used them as interceders and facilitators. I am grateful for all those of you who have prayed for, cared for, and helped me in completing the Lord's work. I am thrilled to see what is in store.
Tomorrow morning I will fly into Pearl River, New York for Orientation. There I'll meet Jessica, Dawn, and Bridgett. They are from Chicago, California, and New York. I cannot wait to meet them, and I suppose I'll be bringing some southern flavor to the team. I've already warned them against my "yall's" and love for sweet tea. Also, I'll try tame the twang on my southern accent for them. On Wednesday we will fly from New York, through Amsterdam, and then into Entebee, Uganda. I simply cannot wait to get to Dwelling Places and hold one of those children in my arms.
For now, I do not have much else to update you all on. Other than how excited I am to begin this journey! Please pray for safe travels, and peace of mind.
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love." 1 John 4:18
