The time has come...

So these past two weeks have been a whirlwind!! So many amazing activities and experiences; I haven't had time to process it all yet! Last Monday we left Chiwengo :( Tears were shed and goodbyes said. Definitely one of the hardest moments of my life! Leaving the children, I had to trust in the Lord that the seeds we planted will be taken care of by God. He will bear fruit that will last! From Chiwengo we got to go on SAFARI!! I saw elephants, zebra, hippos, warthogs, crocs, and tons of deer/antelope type animals. One of the most amazing moments; one that I will never forget! We also got to go to Lake Malawi where we debriefed and relaxed. As I was watching the sunrise on the shores of Lake Malawi, it dawned on me that God brought me here. Of course my head knew this, but for the first time I felt it! The sunrise was His way of showing me His glory... the glory that I am to help others see and just a glimpse of the glory that He has in store for me in eternity. I felt destined to be in Africa in that moment. In that moment, I also knew He had created me to enjoy that sunrise. It was the most beautiful and unexpected thing for me! God showed up when I least expected it! My time is short today because I am getting ready to leave for the airport... 25 more minutes actually! I can't believe that it is over... no more time in Africa :( The past two months flew by and it is yet to hit me. I'm curious to see when exactly it does and what I'll feel. Be praying for safe travels and a smooth transition back into my "American" life again. I will update again soon with more details of the past 2 weeks and PICTURES!!!!!! I miss everyone dearly and will be home soon! Thank you for all your love and support over the months :)


By the way, I'm not sure if everyone has heard but my blog was featured in an article on COTN's website! I had no idea and was super excited when I found out! Here is the link: http://www.cotni.org/articles/446-a-heart-for-africa-in-malawi
