It is officially here ... the 1 week mark. Lots of emotions at this point. To date, the only thing I've been feeling is pure excitement. And now that the big move is 7 days away, more emotions are coming to the fore. Ones like trepidation, anxiety, fear. And that's okay with me. I'm giving myself a pass, since I'm moving to Africa and all :).
The past few weeks have been ... well, busy seems to be an understatement. I made a wonderful, but impromptu trip back home to Indiana two weekends ago. My lovely Grammie passed away and it was nice to be with my family to celebrate her life, our memories of her and rejoice that she's in Heaven with Jesus. This past weekend was all about the girls and chocolate, at my church's women's retreat. We had a great time even if I did gain a few pounds over the weekend. I was in charge of drama at the retreat, and being the overachiever I apparently am, I decided to write the scripts. Talk about a "what was I thinking?" moment! But, God worked it all out and everyone loved the dramas. (And that was my "yippee" moment!).
And now ... it's all about packing. Packing my room, packing my bags and packing on the pounds. Technically, I've been working on that for a month or so. I keep thinking about all the goodies that I won't have access to in Uganda and I've been eating and eating and eating.
So with 1 week to go, I'm anxious to get there, I'm filled with trepidation at leaving all my friends & family and I'm afraid that I won't be up to the challenge. BUT ... as I learned in the "Dirty Little Secrets" workshop at the retreat this past weekend, it's best to fight lies with truth. And here is the truth: God's timing is perfect, He will supply all my needs and He will finish the good work He has started.
7 days to go!!!
