phenomenon

For some strange reason, I am not feeling overwhelmed with the thought of my future in Africa. I have no idea why; if you know me you know that I am prone to overwhelming moments of drama in my life from time to time! Perhaps I have finally realized that there really is no point to freaking out whenever life throws you an unexpected curve. Perhaps so many people have been praying for me that my mind & heart have been fully covered with the peace that surpasses all understanding. Perhaps I am completely naive to reality right now and the moment I step off the plane in Africa I will have a panic attack! (Don't worry team, I'm pretty sure this won't happen! *smile*) Deep down inside what I really think is going on is that the older one gets, the more they learn about how to handle life. While it still may be difficult to understand situations, you learn to cope better with every year you live. Trust me, I know I'm still very young, so I don't claim at ALL to have this all figured out, but it's just a little phenomenon I've noticed in my own life so far.

Hey missy. I heard from Jodean that you all are very busy and very tired. I'm praying for you. Jodean and I are going to meet weekly to pray for you and carrie and the team. By the way, any panic attacks when you stepped off the plane?

Love you

Jenn
