Africa, Africa here I come!

Africa Africa here I come

Ready or not. I sit here at the airport absolutely astounded that this is actually going to happen. It still has not hit me that I am leaving the continent by myself with only prayers to guide me. This will be a culture and a life shock to say the least.

I do not know what I will see when I get there. Will I be taken back with joy or despair! I think I am starting to get nervous…Seeing the look on my parents face made it real to me. When my mom started to cry and then as my dad took me to the airport. We jammed out to songs and then the last one was There is no place that far by Sara Evans. Even though it is a love song it made me think of my dad. I started to cry at the airport because he could have cried too.

Ready or not here I am.

Thank you all for the support you have given me in the last couple of months. This trip would not be possible without your love and support. Please keep me in your prayers! All good things come from God and with Him in my heart, I am never alone.

Oh!! I got a window seat to Amsterdam! How exciting! Even though it might be dark…the sun has to come up sometime.

Now I am starting to get nervous…but there is a plan at hand. People have said that I am going to come back changed. I believe that I will. I believe that my eyes are going to open to see things that I did not see before.

As I have always said, “You cannot change the world by looking through one pair of eyes” Quote for thought!

God Bless
