ten long days

It still seems unreal that I will be leaving in 10 days to go to Uganda for 4 weeks. It's something I talk about everyday and have been preparing for for months yet it still doesn't seem real. I don't think it will until my feet finally touch the ground at the airport in Entebbe. I constantly have a million thoughts running through my head: Have I paid all my fees? Do I have the right clothes? What am I going to do on the plane? Am I going to get homesick? How much sunscreen should I pack? and so on. But even with all of the questions running through my mind I am still as excited as ever. I just want it to be Monday July 4th already so I can be on my way to something amazing!

I know that God has helped in really preparing me the last few weeks and that He will continue to guide me while I am away. I am ready to take on any tasks that come my way and know that I will struggle along the way but if I can just trust in Him I can make it through.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, 

for the LORD your God goes with you;

 he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31:6
