ONE WEEK!

One week from today, I will be boarding an airplane(for the first time EVER) and heading to Kampala, Uganda!
I would've never imagined myself doing something like this! It is a once in a life time experience and a dream come true!
We started taking our malaria pills today, got all of my things moved out of our apartment, and I have one final left to go before I am home! It has been a GREAT year...a year in which I have grown...cried...hurt...laughed...seen things...and learned more than I could ever imagine. I have seen babies healed...lives once torn apart, now put back together...hearts mended...lives in storms saved...health results come back positive...and SO much more...all through the POWER of prayer! I understand a different kind of Jesus than one that I have ever understood before. And I am SO glad that I know the Jesus that loves me, forgives me, and covers me by His grace!
The verse I want to share today is 2 Thessalonians 2:14- He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I LOVE this verse and I feel like it is SO fitting to going on this trip. I am going with an amazing group of people and I pray daily that our eyes will be opened to new things and that we will be changed forever. We were told the Good News....now it's our turn to go share it...to people in a city...in AFRICA...
A little girl from Arkansas...will be sharing the life of Jesus...to another girl from Africa.
That to me is beautiful...and I cannot WAIT!!!
SEVEN DAYS!!!
