[ the transition period ]

i must admit the transition is unlike anything i have really experienced. its somewhat like planning your own funeral and being there at the same time. its quite an unusual experience. i knew this time would be happening, but i did not realize how this experience would pan out. and i will admit, its much harder than I expected as well. Selling my larger items, especially my college car was especially difficult for me yesterday. watching someone else drive away with my car brought nothing but tears. at the end of each day of this transition period, i must lay my head down, close my eyes, and think about the people and children i will be affecting through Jesus Christ.

my heart has always been for africa. i know that my home is in africa. it has been my dream and God's vision for me to move to africa. but i can not deny that my comfort zone is surely in the states. even though i have some feelings of sadness, loss, and loneliesness its just part of the process! overall, the time has been very successful thus far. i have been blessed to have my car be sold within six hours of it on craigslist! in addition, i thought i would have to drive hours to receive special shots and it turns out they called me and said i would be able to get them only an hour and a half away!

prayer. please be in prayer during this time for me. the more prayer the better. i can not do this without Jesus Christ and I can not do it without prayers. thank you in advance!

many blessings to you all!
