Only 18 more days until I leave for South Africa! I've prayed quite a bit asking God to prepare my head and my heart for this trip and he has certainly showed up for me. For awhile I felt more worried than excited, but I'm over that hump now and I'm getting more excited every day. At this point I'm most worried about the following things...
What if I get motion sick during that LONG LONG flight?
What if I can't sleep and I get really tired and cranky with 6 people I don't know?
What if I get really homesick?
The good news is that none of my concerns have a worst case scenario that's all that bad. If I get motion sick, I'll just have to deal with it for a day or so. If I can't sleep and I get a little cranky, I'll just have to suck it up and keep going and try to keep my crankiness to myself. If I get homesick, I'll just have to stick it out and try to keep my mind busy and remember that I'll be home in no time and everyone and everything will still be here when I get back. Promise me you'll all be here when I get back!!! And if you could send me emails while I'm gone that would really help me too! You can send them to jameydeen@live.com.
Last night our team got together to take our group photo. As soon as it's emailed to me I'll post it so you can all see who I'll be traveling with. There are seven of us total, three men and four women. It's going to be so strange traveling for two weeks with 6 people I don't know very well, but they are all so nice and we now have a common bond that will last a lifetime thanks to this adventure in South Africa. I'm sure that God chose each one of us for a reason and as the trip goes along those reasons will be revealed. I'm really looking forward to seeing everything that He has planned for us, it's going to be unbelievable!
