wow.
It seems like its been forever since i last wrote. I just got back from a staff retreat to my lakehouse this weekend. It was incredible. I was able to literally just not do anything- not stress, not worry, not doubt- just be present. I felt totally relaxed and comfortable. I felt the unconditional support of the girls around me. Not once did i doubt their intentions or feel unsure of their feelings towards me. it truly was a breath of fresh air.
well, I guess the biggest development is that I think I'm going to go to africa. from august to september. It's scary and intimidating, but I truly feel like I am supposed to go. CMFI is the organization that my "apprenticeship" will be through, but I will be going by myself and meeting up with a missionary in Nairobi, Kenya. I am so excited to have something "future" oriented, something to look forward to and something to work towards.
Last summer, I spent a very late night reading another friend's blog about her experience in India. After reading her testimony, and seeing all that the Lord had revealed to her, I became extremely interested in finally going to Africa, where I have wanted to go since my freshman year. The Lord really opened doors for me in the past three weeks, and I am just bewildered by how quickly His perfect plan can take shape.
For now, though. I need to stay focused on being here. on loving my girls (both tennis and residents) and learning as much as I possibly can. I cannot wait to see what all He has in store for me the rest of this year, but I am delighted to have at least something out there.
Well, it's late, and I need to go to bed. But I hope to write again soon.
God is so good, and He is so incredibly faithful. His sovereignty amazes me. His steadfastness anchors me. His grace overwhelms me.
How deep the Father's love for us.
