Wow, 18 days. I literally still haven't comprehended in my head that this trip is finally happening. I was recently looking back over my old journals from this past year in Rwanda and then back at home and so much of my thoughts have been on seeing those boys who have gripped my heart again. I wonder, will I laugh jubilantly or weep upon seeing their faces and holding them in my arms again? We will soon find out!
I'm definitely excited about this trip.. I'm finally making my dreams come true and I'm thrilled. I have so much to learn from my friends and all year long I've been waiting for this chance to go back to grow and be with the people I've come to love. Yet in the same breathe of excitement, the doubts cannot keep from penetrating my thoughts. "Can I actually do this? Is this too big for me to do on my own?" The questions creep in so quickly trying to steal away my exhilaration. Yet, I am steadfast holding onto this promise: "If I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." Psalm 139.
If you'd like more information on my trip, feel free to join me this coming Sunday, November 8th for a Cross-Cultural Coffee House as I will be sharing. The event is held at Northlake Christian Church in Bothell at 12pm.
Love, Megan
