30 days to go...

The countdown has officially begun! I can't believe that 30 days from this moment I will be in an airplane flying towards London and then on to Entebbe. This experience has been a whirlwind of emotions and experiences so far. I agree with my teammates...I never knew it took so much work to move to a different country for two years! And I stuggle with the thought of leaving my loved ones behind. This will be my first Christmas without my family. I am missing weddings of friends that I have known forever. It is easy for me to become fearful, leaving the comfortable and known for the uncomfortable and unknown. But, as 1 John reminds us, "perfect love casts out fear." God has been instilling this concept in my heart this week. It is incredible to have such an awesome relationship with such a loving Father!
