its all sinking in...

With each day that goes by, it becomes more apparent to me that I'm really going to Africa! Please please please pray for me and my team. For me, I'm starting to get anxiety over the whole thing coming together okay.

We really haven't met with our team yet about it, and we leave in 9 weeks! I have no idea really what I'm walking into besides the basic facts that I researched about Kibera. However, I know that I'm supposed to be there. I feel like my desire to GO has faded and I know that it is Satan trying to pull me away from answering that call that I heard at Passion.

Another prayer request is my PASSPORT. They suggested that I paid the extra $90 to get it expediated because it takes 10 weeks.... so they say. so PRAY that it gets here in time, because I didn't pay the extra money.


What else? Our plane ticket prices went up, and we haven't booked our flights yet. I'm not sure if I should book now before they go up AGAIN, but they are pretty pricey right now. I have to front the cost of the ticket and then pay myself back with the support that I raise.

That's another thing that I'm thinking about a lot... is the support raising. It's come to a stand still, and the number of letters I sent out is no where near the number that was "recommended" I send out. pish posh... :)

I have to stop this! I know GOD will provide. He always has for me in the past when finances get tough - and all who know me know that a lot of situations has come up that I always find myself in a pinch. But I know that if He wants me there, which I believe he does, He will find a way for me to be there.

Matthew 6:25.... do not WORRY!!! I wish I could just learn to be better at transferring that piece of scripture from my head to my heart.
