TWO WEEKS!!!!

It is crazy to think that I am only two short weeks away from departing for Uganda for the year! It has been a bit surreal to me that it is actually happening. I still have a lot to do before I leave, but also feel relaxed in a way. I think I just have peace that this is the right thing for me, and am trusting the Lord that everything will come together.

I have been enjoying time with family, especially for the holidays. It is neat to think that next Christmas I will likely be celebrating in Uganda. I am really excited to spend more time in Uganda, and learn different traditions that they have, and share traditions with those I get to know. I know that the next year will look a lot different for me, but can't wait to see what it has in store.

Please be praying as I continue to get things ready, that things will come together smoothly. Also pray that I will let go of control a bit; I tend to think of myself as a flexible person, but this experience will put flexibility into a whole new perspective. I will be stretched and pulled, but am eager to see what I am shaped into. I know that the Lord has good for me in Uganda, and I've already been shown a lot of good in preparation.

The count down is on! If you are reading this and want to get email updates from me, send me a message. Also, I still have support that needs to be raised, and you can go here to donate!

A first entry!

Hello! I decided to start a blog! I am not very tech savvy, so I really don't know if I've done it correctly, but here is a trial run! I am very excited to be preparing for my upcoming year in Uganda! Thanks to all that have encouraged and supported me in this transition time! Hard to believe I'll be there in two months! I am so excited and eager to see what the Lord will do and all that I will experience!

Hopefully this will be a way for people to keep up with me during my time in Uganda and for me to put into words and process some of the things I am experiencing and learning. I am not sure yet how often I will be able to update it but hopefully on a regular basis. I think it will be fun! You all can come along with me in a way!

I pray that God will be glorified through my time there, and that those I meet will be blessed. I know that I will be very blessed by their stories and welcoming nature to me. I hope to be a sponge.

Ok, have a happy day!
