hello world!


HELLLLLO! This is my first time getting internet in over a week!! I have made it safely to Uganda!! In the past week I’ve rested and then jumped right into working and into Kampala where I am currently living. I will possibly be relocated to another babies home (either Gulu or Subi), depending on the needs of Watoto. God has been doing some crazy stuff that I cannot wait to share soon!! Stay tuned for updates coming soon : )

Wow!

Soooooo here is the deal. My counter says I'm leaving in one hour:) but I'm actually leaving at 3:30 tomorrow!! Either way I just finished packing and now just like before my emotions are in high gear and I have no idea what I am feeling. I'm leaving this continent tomorrow to live my dream. What better blessing could you ask for?? God is so amazing, now if only I could find my passport pictures for my visa! I am trusting superstore will not be busy on a Sunday morning !!! Sleep well world! TOmorrow is a new day;)

yep. it's happening.

Yep. It's true. I leave for Uganda on Sunday. Sunday, this Sunday the 15th of January. Who knew (God did) that less than a year after leaving for Guatemala, I would be leaving to finish, or potentially start
the dream that God planted in my heart in high school.
This is crazy business.
Oh Africa, you and God consume my thoughts. And although I am super stoked to leave North America, I have to admit to being slightly freaked out. I feel nervous, inadequate and unprepared.
However,
these are just lies that I refuse to believe because
God is good.
God has a plan.
He is faithful.
Considering He has called me here at this time in my life I'm going to accept the fact that despite I am unskilled in the baby area, nineteen years old, just a smidgen passionate and completely inadequate...
I serve an uber big God. Who obviously is a magnificent orchestrator and has me in a position where I have no choice but to depend on Him. He has brought this journey this far and I can't wait to depend on Him fully for my daily bread with a heart full of thanks.

with that said, I mustn't waste anymore time fooling around. must. continue. packing. :)
