Oh my. It. Is. Here. June 10th. The day we fly to
Zambia!! Well technically London, then Johannesburg, then Livingstone, Zambia
:) Then a short car ride and we will be in Namwianga! It finally feels real as
I’m sitting in the terminal now about to board the first plane. The day was
filled with last minute errands and repacking and blessed phone calls from so
many of my favorite people. Thank you to everyone who as called, texted and
encouraged me in any way over the last few days, I love you for it!! I know I
would not have come to this place without your love. God truly provides for all
our needs. I have heard Him through you. Thank you for that.
In about 11 hours we (Kelly, Hanna, Kamri and I) will all
get to meet in person in a London airport! I could not be more excited to see
them! Please pray for smooth transitions through all our airports, especially
as we try to find one another, without phones. Ha.
I also wanted to share the verses that have provided me
stillness and peace over the last 24 hours. I pray they bring you the same
peace.
Glory in His holy
name; let the hearts of those who seek
the Lord rejoice! Seek the Lord and
His strength; seek His presence
continually! Psalm 105:3-4
Talk to you soon! From the other side of the Atlantic!

I just remembered that Maegan is Coach Hawley's niece, not daughter (duh!!). I hope that you have safe travels. You're in my prayers. I know you will bless so many lives on this trip!

My precious. After I took your picuture and you were busy getting ready for TSA... I didn't fall apart and I was thrilled to see you turn around and wave that last wave! My phone rang! It was Susan and it was perfect timing. I know you will find this hard to believe, but we talked all the way home and it gave me such peace. For many reasons!
ReplyDeleteNow reading your blog and knowing what some of your thoughts were after I left brings another level of peace and joy to your mom!
I'll wait patiently for word that all 4 of you have arrived safely to love the little children of the world. Love, Mom
