One More Week!!

So it's down to a week and I couldn't be more excited! The support has just been continuing to flow in. I have reached and am continuing to exceed my one time support goals, and the one time support has reached $725 out of $1,000. I've gotten my visa, plane tickets, and overseas health insurance, so I'm pretty much set up, just waiting on that last bit of monthly support.

It seems very bizarre that in a week I will be leaving this country, not to come back for another year. There isn't any fear there, God seems to have replaced it with a serene peace. Not to say that this last two weeks hasn't been hectic. Between totaling my car and catching the flu, I have to say they've been pretty eventful. But all things in the end have been blessings. Totaling the car means I don't have to do the legwork to sell it in such a short amount of time (and no one was hurt, most important of all!). The flu gave me time away from my stress. I have so much to do but I was missing out on God in the midst. It was like God was saying "If you don't stop for a second, I'll make you stop!" He want our whole selves so much more than what we can do for him. If he can't have me then South Africa is pointless. He wants all of us and what we do for him is just an overflow. Our desire to serve should never outweigh our desire to be in love with God and I know that I am guilty of that. I think we all are. Just remember that he loves you more than anything you could ever imagine and he wants your heart to be his alone!

Thanks for all the support and I can't wait to see everyone one last time this Sunday!
