well ladies and gents, we have officially hit the homestretch. one week. seven days. one hundred and sixty eight hours until i am on a plane from detroit bound for uganda. and there is still so much that needs to be done. one last bag to pack. one last oreo mint milkshake from cookout to eat. one last family dinner. but each time i think of everything i have to do, i think of all the amazing firsts that will be happening in the next week. the first time meeting my fellow interns. the first time stepping on ugandan soil. the first time meeting the beautiful GSF children. the first time working at a job i know jesus created me to do. it makes me unbelievably giddy, to say the least.
some prayer requests as we get closer to take-off:
1. that more time will be found in a day to pack, prep myself, and love on my family.
2. that travel will be smooth. i am SO grateful that i get to travel with someone else from my team. God knew i was anxious about doing an international trip alone and answered a very real prayer! but this is still my first international trip without my parents so pray that everything goes as planned.
3. that my heart would be ready for this trip. i spend so much time prepping the physical for this trip that i don't want to forget the spiritual, emotional, and mental components.
can you tell i am excited?! the next time i will be writing here i will be in AFRICA! pinch me. this can't be real.
