Lord willing...Africa here I come :):)

I really don't know how to say this...so here it goes!!
I'VE BEEN OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED TO VOLUNTEER IN
UGANDA!!!!!
This means I can move forward with booking flights and preparing everything I will need to get together before I leave. Lord willing I plan to leave in January and stay until May. I cannot clearly express in words my excitement for this chapter of my life and how it is all coming together. In the process of this journey God has taken things away in my life but of course He has also given. Given peace, given people, given encouragment through his Word. God is good. He has been continually blessing me and letting me discover grace.
the concept, the mystery, the action, the pure goodness, the amazing blessing of grace.
I realize that the next few months, the next year, the next 10 years are all important and it is okay to be excited with the future and what it holds, however it is also important to remember to live in the moment. The now. God is doing amazing things today and will do great things tomorrow if we commit ourselves to let Him work in and through us. So I will continue to keep my focus on Him, for if He is the centre, everything else shall fall in place in His perfect timing. Good and perfect timing.
--Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is --his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
-- God is interested in the journey, not just the destination.
