Well, today feels a little strange. Peacefully strange. I stayed up a little later last night and did some packing with Brittany. She decided she wanted to crochet some scarves for the orphans. She fell asleep before she got the first one done but at least her heart had good intentions. The girls have been helping me complete my will and I've been including them in everything to get ready. They're not as anxious anymore and are seemingly a little excited to hearing about the journey.
During yesterday's reading, I came across a really great verse that was so fitting for missions.
Romans 15:20
"My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else."
To me, this just reaffirmed our need to be there and spread the Good News of Christ. Not just in our own comfortable surroundings, but to the far reaches of the world. I'm so excited to be a part of God's plan and I can't wait to wake each morning and see what he has in store.
I've got lots to do and two very special young ladies to enjoy the evening with ... I'll write more in a little bit.
