An Unsafe Adventure...

"I am going away for a while, but I'll be back don't try and follow me; I'll return as soon as possible. You see, I'm trying to find my place, and it might not be here where I feel safe." ~Paramore


I came across this song shortly after my return from Lesotho last year, and it spoke to my soul. As excited as I am for all that the Lord has for me this year in Africa, I have a lot of anxiety aswell. I often find that the less comfortable I am, the more room God has to work... It is going to be a good year ;o) I look forward to walking by faith and not by sight, stepping out of my comfort zone so that I can grow spiritually, personally, and professionally. 


In less than 12 hours, I will be Lesotho bound at last! Please pray for me, that I will not have any issues with immigration, as I spent hours on the phone with the airline earlier today trying to problem solve my one-way ticket dilemma. I have taken as many measures as possible to prove to the airline that I will not be remaining visa-less in a foreign country, but since I cannot get my Lesotho visa until I get there, I may still have a problem getting on my flight. However, I have many praises this week, one of which is with my support goal- between monthly commitments and one-time donations, I am at 50% of my goal for the year! Well on my way! Also, several therapists that I worked with here donated art therapy supplies, as did some of my fantastic clients, so that helped considerably with my program supply budget! 


Good-byes were extremely hard this week... I have not really had the time or space to process them yet, and I know that it will probably hit me on my 30+ hours of travel. Once again I sincerely thank all of you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. I would not have the courage to do this without you all- I appreciate you, and will miss you!! 


  "Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord."


~2 Corinthians 5:6-8
