For those of you who haven't already heard the news, my flight to Liberia is OFFICIALLY BOOKED (!!!), and I leave on November 29th. I'll be gone for seven months (almost exactly to the day), returning in late June of 2010. It's my sincere hope that you, first and foremost, join me in praising God for His goodness, for His provision, for His faithfulness. It's nothing short of awe-inspiring to look back over this entire process and meditate on how He has knit this whole thing together. This dream, this vision that was birthed in me long ago has beautifully evolved over time, and I'm struck, day after day, as I realize that it was His dream and His vision all along. How humbling! How ... full my heart becomes whenever I think about that.
I also ask that you keep me in prayer as I prepare to head back. I still have two weeks, yet I know that those two weeks will have flown by before I know it. There is much to do, and I could easily get overwhelmed. Yet I have this deep peace within me, even as I find myself caught up in the whirlwind of it all. Please pray for that continual peace for me; I'll most definitely need it. (And, if you live in the Reading area, I hope you can stop by Bala and Laly's on the 28th so I can see you before I go!)
