20 days and counting...

Well, it is hard to believe that in 20 days I will be leaving for Africa. I can still remember singing that song when I was little... "Please don't send me to Africa" and I can remember really praying that when I sang it. But I also remember meeting a lady who gave her life to Africa and I thought maybe it isn't so bad after all. And now I am just 20 days away from leaving and having this dream/nightmare come true. I am quite excited about it. I got my visa without much trouble and tomorrow the ticket will be purchased. I don't know what all is in store these next 20 days let alone my time in Africa- but I do know very clearly tonight that Immanuel is exactly who He says He is!!! So I find security in the midst of being insecure, and I find peace in the midst of caos, and I find my hand in His and some how strength is found to tackle another day or at least the next minute! Maybe I will actually get back here before the 20 days are up, and record some of what I have been going through! Enjoy Him!
