This is a warning to all the followers--i am getting emotional! My work is almost done (as close as it's going to get), my bags are packed and I'm getting ready to leave my house! I was running some errands and could barely listen to the radio without getting choked up.
I am apologizing in advance if i get sappy on here, but I feel so very blessed to be able to go on this mission trip. I am so blessed that my family has raised me to know God and have reminded me to be quiet and listen to Him. That is the only way this trip has been possible. I felt it on my heart and I tried making excuses of why I couldn't go, but I was quiet just long enough to follow Him.
I pray that I will be able to hear Him in Africa and that I will be able to share the Word with the children there.
Thank you again! Please pray for my safety during my travels tomorrow. Pray for my mothers strength to get through tomorrow and know that I will be ok (may not want to call her she normally can't talk when one of her kids is traveling).
Love you all!
African Shower
My wonderful family hosted a shower to help me pack my suitcase to take to the children.
K so now I'm the emotional one...Just left my baby girl at the InternationalAirport.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got home I opened my bible and it opened to James. James l:27 is one of the first verses God put on my heart to memeorize.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep onself from being polluted by the world."
I used to write that one in my planner to remind me what God accepts...what He wants in our life.
Isn't it just like Him to start preparing me for this years ago. =)
I love you baby girl...more than life. I'm praying fervently for you and those babies.
You have been on my mind from 5:45 a.m., sporadically throughout the day. I immediately say a prayer for your safety, think about what you could possibly be doing with yourself during the long flight and anticipating what's in store for you. Good for you girl, it's only just begun.
