Less than a week!

4 days to go and....wow, it seems like last week I got the call. What a good God we serve!! He uses your passions and desires to draw you closer to Him. He's sending me half-way around the world, puts me in an incredible adventurous yet dangerous position, and gives me everything and everyone at home to MISS.......simply to draw me closer to Him, to reveal His true character. What an opportunity! Psalm 86: Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.
Thanks for everyone's prayers and support...if I didn't say goodbye to anyone I truly am sorry.
I leave this Sunday morning and arrive in Nyrobi, Kenya October 1st. I should leave Kenya for Yei, Sudan a week or so after. BTW, check out where I'm going on Google Earth, it's really quite interesting...Love you all and already missing you :)

2 weeks until departure!

Alright...this is getting too close for comfort! Only 13 days till departure and the weight of it all is starting to sink in. I just got back from Samaritan Purse's headquarters in Boone, N.C. The training for the next year of my service was...extensive and intense to say the least. I came away with a new respect for what S.P. does around the world and (yet another) confirmation that this is exactally where the Lord has me. At dinner my first night away, I had a tugging to open the Word. John 20:19-21 is where he brought me!!! ALRIGHT LORD, fill me to the brim and send me out!!! I'm gonna miss every(some)body so much...conflicting emotions
