Packing (as you can see below) and getting my suitcase under 50 lbs... Contacting credit card companies before leaving the country... Taking care of bills and banking... dealing with computers and electronics... and buying our plane tickets for Ireland...
BUT GOD IS GOOD! A couple from church (yes, it's you, Neal & Dawnya) prayed for me and our family right after the 2nd service -- that God would open my eyes to see what it is that He has in store for this trip and that He would protect all of us... It was so uplifting and affirming!A lot of people have asked me what my expectations are for this trip, including the group from Partners Worldwide I will be joining in Uganda. Honestly, I don't have any... which is really a drastic change for this Type A engineer -- I'm consistently set goals and objectives for most activities that I'm doing.
Lou from Partners Worldwide probably said it best, in response to me saying I don't really have any expecations when we met in mid-July... He said that's perfect, because that way God can work and I won't be dissappointed if it's totally different than what I expected.
This entire trip has been, is and likely will be a real "stretch" for me... what better reason to fully rely on God for what is to come.
Better head to bed... I'm winging off to Africa tomorrow morning!!!
