This is it. You ask me if I’m ready to go and my answer is simply “yes”. I have packed up 27months of my life in two suitcases, I have said my goodbyes and I am patiently awaiting my journey to begin in Philly tomorrow morning. This…is…it! Saying goodbye to AJ this evening sucked, and I sit here on my porch swing teary eyed at the realization of this decision I have chosen to make. I am getting ready to completely uproot myself from everything that I know and love to wholeheartedly and humbly serve other people. I cannot wait. I pray that God not only gives me the protection and strength I need to successfully serve others while in Zambia, but most importantly, I pray that God lay his hand upon my heart. For healing, for guidance, and for wisdom, I pray that God be by my side every step of the way.
Goodbyes suck. I've managed to keep it together and cry after my guest leave. Lame me. This has been the most exciting, exhausting emotional week of my life. Every phone call, text message, and personal visit I have gotten from someone this week has made me feel so loved. I am thankful for you all and it’s the support from you guys that keep me going and confident in my decision. But considering that I plan on seeing lots of you on the motherland, it’s been more like “I’ll just see you next year”.
Zambia, I sure hope that you are ready for me. I pack a lot of power in this tiny body. I pray that you all continue on this journey with me and keep in touch. I’m all packed and ready to go.
Peace & Love,
Baby Cheers
I'm praying for you beautiful lady! I'm sure you're going to be a bright light and bring so much joy to the people you'll be working with. Be safe, I look forward to reading this as your journey continues!!
