The following are two paragraphs I wrote on the plane ride to Africa for the first time. I was so excited, nervous, and in awe of how far God had already taken me and I hadn't even touched African soil. Little did I know how much more He had in store for me on that trip and in the future, but interestingly enough when you read the second paragraph... maybe I did...

I'm getting emotional again as I write- I just can't believe how God has honored my decision. I trusted His promptings & urges and stayed the course with Him. See what has happened? I feel so loved, wanted, and needed, by the Creator of our Universe none the less!
I'm not sure if it means much, but I've had thoughts, again, of myself leading a "needy" ministry of education, like Christy Merrill just began doing for Children's Cup in Swaziland. Huh? This trip started as a small vision and tug too...
Things are coming full circle. In regards to the first paragraph, I'm in the same place- learning to be obedient to His promptings and stay the course! See my last post :)
In regards to the second... uhhh... Christy's position is the one I am fundraising to take on with Children's Cup. LOL God is funny. I love how He was warming me up to full-time mission work, even before I did my first short-term trip!
One thing that encourages me is imagining myself on the plane to Swaziland for the big move... I'm sure I'll be thinking some of the same things above- in complete awe of our amazing God. I wonder what prophetic thoughts He might share with me then...
