In 3 weeks I will be on my way to a new adventure!
In 3 weeks I will be on the other side of the equator.
In 3 weeks I will miss my family and friends.
In 3 weeks the fundraising, packing, and preparing will be done.
In 3 weeks everything is going to change!
I cannot believe how fast it is coming! This week I began training the new assistant that will replace me at work and realized that I will only be employed for another 2 weeks. My faithful Heavenly Father has provided for all my big expenses and is taking care of the little ones too so my fundraising is almost complete! While I haven't begun my packing, I have begun shopping and collecting the items I need. The biggest purchases on the shopping list this week are a water purifier and medical insurance.
In the midst of all these details, I can feel Jesus preparing my heart. A couple weeks ago I shared about what the Lord has been doing in my heart towards His little ones {See: No Longer A Slumdog}. When my passport came back with my visa for Mozambique, the adventure began to feel more real and I had such joy and anticipation bubbling up in me. With the arrival of the month of my departure, May, I began to feel a little apprehensive though. I started thinking about all I had to do in just 28 days and all that was going to change. My life in Africa is going to look very different. But Jesus was faithful to remind me that He will not change when my geographical location does. He will still love me, He will still lead me, He will be faithful to me ALWAYS. Those truths give me what I need each day to keep pressing forward.
