in 10 days and some odd hours and minutes and seconds...i will be on my way to denver for our briefing and then off to Abidjan we go.
mom and i went shopping today for all the detail stuff like sunscreen, medicines, shampoo, deodorant, ect... but i can now say except for one more thing i am ready to go. i've got my bags...including a new vera bradely bag!! ;) and i've got all the materialistic items i need so i guess whats left, is to go.
i was talking to a very good friend from indiana tonight and was kind of saying the same thing to him... we were talking about the rest is yet to come...for when i get there. i just have to have patience, peace, faith, and trust...that the Lord will take care of me and provide all I need while I'm there.
its really weird how much peace i have about going. i know im nervous, but im not that nervous. im more nervous for the unknown but its not a bad nervous...more of a excited nervous. I am very grateful for the peace I have, and i know it is all from the Lord! he is such an awesome God, and i am so blessed to be able to go and do his work!
i will leave you with this...
"Faith that you will have fun,
Wisdom says that you should be safe,
and
Trust in the people taking you there."

I will be praying for you and awaiting a blog or a fbook status update or soemthing to let me know you are safe and sound. :) love you love you love you!
