My sweet friend at tutoring....I am going to miss my kids!Can you believe it? 5 days and we will be boarding a plane to South Africa!!! I can't believe it!
I am trying to prepare myself spiritually, emotionally, physically and honestly, I don't think I can do enough. So many questions linger in my mind. What am I going to see? What can I offer? What in the world am I walking into? How can I prepare?
It's been a hard weekend....just walking through emotions that I thought I had dealt with. And honestly, allowing the Lord to truly define and refine parts of me that I didn't want to see. And it's allowed me to get rid of some junk that He didn't want me to take with me to Africa. I praise Him for that.
I am overjoyed with how many people have been so supportive of what our team is doing. I am so blessed my friends, strangers and the church. I am so thankful for such an amazing group of people who just want us to do the work of the Lord. I pray that we can be poured out. Just be used by Him.
Prayer requests:
~ Safety for our travel
~ For our team: Soup, Linda, Kate and myself
~ A love and sensitivity for the people who are sick
~ Protection in South Africa
~ A consistent joy in serving
I will keep you posted as the week continues!
You may go HERE to hear our sending out at church!
