A week and a half

Next Thursday we leave for Africa. Man...this is crazy. Not this Thursday, but the next. Within this time of preparation I have been attacked emotionally, like I always do before a trip. Why this happens? Not sure. Maybe the enemy knows how to really put me down but despite this testing I have been rejoicing in the fact that I will be doing what is my hearts true desire. To go into the world and preach the gospel. I know I will be challenged since I will def. be out of my comfort zone. I've never been in a place where the people do not know my language, and especially being in need of an interpreter when I do that for a living! Wow God is awesome. I am excited, and truly grateful for what the Lord will do in us and through us. I know this will be an awakening in every sense of the christian walk. My main desire is to never be the same again. And I do not mean to be excited for a couple of weeks when I come back from the trip and then go back to living the same. I pray that this may be a radical change. Lord knows I need that.
