Today is the day!

In a few short hours I will be stepping on the plane to go to South Africa. It's hard to believe this day is real and sometimes I wonder what I am getting myself into but I am trying to remind myself that God is in control and He is with me. Lots of feelings and/or emotions...happy to be doing something that I know will make me a better person but sad to be leaving what I know as familiar and leaving friends and family. Anxious and scared to walk into a world of uknowns, but at peace knowing God's will will be done.
Pray for safe travels and the patience to sit on a plane for 17.5 hours (and that just one leg). Pray for those I will be meeting soon. Pray that I would adjust quickly and make the most of every moment. Pray that God would grant me a divine understanding of the culture, people, and spiritual activities.
THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH!!! I can't say it enough as without you I would not be here.
All glory and praise to Him.
