Faithful...

The flight is only 2 days away... the bags are packed.
In only 2 days. This coming Tuesday. 9:30 PM.
I will be getting on a plane at LAX, to London, to South Africa. again.

In all things, God has been faithful.


There is absolutely no way for me to possibly explain how I am currently feeling. It is such a wonderful, awe-inspired, crazy, excited, overwhelmingly beautiful feeling. I will be returning to the land that I love in two days. While it is a 32hour flight, I know that it will be 32 hours of unrealistic wonder. How is it possible that the time has come so quickly to return? It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting at the chapel at the African Enterprise campus in November 2009. It was then that I knew that eventually I would be coming back. I didn't know when or how long eventually would take, I just knew that God was telling me that I would return. I can't believe that eventually is finally here.

In all things, God has been faithful.


I was at church this morning and was moved to tears when Pastor prayed for me and my team. I know that it has been the support of this loving church family that has made my trip possible. The love and generosity and prayers of all my family and friends has made it possible. God's will for me to return with this wonderful team of people has made it possible. There are so many things that I had expected to happen during college--lots of classes, new friends, hopefully graduation--but who am I that God would bless me with the opportunity to go to South Africa... not once, but twice??

In all things, God has been faithful.


My first time there was an amazing time of growth for me, just in realizing that my life isn't my own. He has a will for me, and a path, and a direction. None of those are my choice, they are all things that He has predestined for me before He gave me life. He knew that in two days from now I would be getting onto a plane to go back to the land that taught me that God alone is enough, God alone brings true peace, and God alone can sustain your every need. He has provided for my financial, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs in returning to South Africa. He is currently in the process of reopening my heart for a new adventure and a time of renewal and enlightenment. I desperately need to be woken up again, to be reminded of the passion that He once filled my heart with in Fall 2009. He taught me that He alone will ever be enough. In two days, I am going back.

In ALL things, God is, was, and will be faithful.
