Today is the day!!! I cannot believe that it is finally here! In a few short hours I will be boarding the plane on my way! WOOHOO! There is much excitement and anticipation inside my heart right now...I cannot wait for the quiet time on the plane....SLEEP!!!...I am excited to be reacquainted with Dennis and Sue (the missionaries I am travelling with)...and I cannot wait to see the familiar faces of my Zambian brothers and sisters in Christ!
There has been so much preparation that has gone into this trip and I could not GO if not for the AWESOME support system I have here with my family and friends....you all have been such a HUGE blessing! I say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! I am overwhelmed with your generosity, your love, your prayers, your faithfulness to our Faithful God!
A HUGE thank you to my dear mom....I could not do this trips without you and Dad's support. I am not sure how it feels to put your baby on a plane and know that she is going half way around the world....but I know that it has been the investment of my Godly parents that have given me this passion for the souls of men. Mom, I know it's your dream to do these things that God has allowed me to do, and my dream is that one day real soon, you can come with me and see with your own eyes how Big God's world really is and why the passion for people is so deep inside my heart. It has been placed there by God, and watered by the continued support and love of you and Dad....THANK YOU!!!! Thanks for once again packing all the STUFF...you amaze me how you get it all in! Thank you for all your help...I love you Mom and Pops!
To my dear friends who spent the evening with me last night...YOU GUYS ROCK! It was an adventure! I have learned that these trips don't come without adventure!!! We were definitely on a mission last night to find the one last item needed...a camera....and 4 stores later, a little frustration, and lots of laughter...we got it!!! Thank You Homey's!!! I thought I was gonna have an accident in the car as I listened to Mr. Bill explain how we were gonna demand service at the last store...praise God, we didn't have to!!! God is so good! I am gonna cherish last night forever!
Today I look forward...forward into all God has for me in this journey. I was reminded of a verse this morning while getting ready..
Luke 9:62
And Jesus said unto him, no man having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
LOOK AHEAD. WE are asked to look ahead and not turn back. Today I look ahead with anticipation and eager expectation in all I know He is capable of doing! May He be glorified in my life!!! I encourage you all to look ahead to what He has for you, don't look back!
I am off....thank you so much for all that has been given and invested to make this journey possible...I couldn't do it without you!!! Pray us through!!!
