it's happening. it's here. and I still can't believe it.

I'm ready, I suppose. Or as ready as I'm going to be with a plane ticket for 8:00am tomorrow morning, a passport and a rather worn copy of Irresistible Revolution.

I'll admit that right now my emotions are in turmoil. I'm a crazy mixture of excitednervousscaredhappysleepy. My brain can't slow down enough for me to capture an entire thought--just fragments of dreams, wishes and hopes.

I love you all. And I'm still in awe of the fact that I have this amazing opportunity to love on people halfway around the globe. I'm astounded by the fact that my little admin skills can be used to help students gain an education, that my meager knowledge of photoshop will be useful in helping generate PR to help end a war. It's crazy to me, how God can use every little bit of us... even the parts we aren't so sure about.

keep me in your prayers. for courage to go where God calls me, and humbleness to follow where he leads. for sensitivity to the needs of others and strength to help them well. for endurance, for patience, for boldness... for moments of peace and quiet to just listen to the whisper of God's love in the wind. I know I'll need it all. And know that I'll be praying this all for you (+ even more)

I feel so blessed to know you all and to live this life God has given me.
