Soon

In case you haven't checked out our other blog recently, I've been posting there.

I'm not sure what I'll do once we get to Rwanda. We'll probably post pictures on that blog more often, so I may do more of my own thought processing here.

We are so excited to be leaving in less than 5 days. I have no doubt the Lord has been in this process, and it makes me anxious to begin to see all the ways God will be working over the next few months.

People keep asking us what our biggest fear or apprehension is, and my reply usually has to do with figuring out our future. A big purpose of this trip is to help us determine whether or not we may feel called to Rwanda longer term, and to see in what capacity that could be. We are praying that doors open and close and we have clarity about future jobs. But also, I want to be present to our time in Rwanda, and not be too focused on what's next.

I'm sure I'll have other prayer requests as time goes on.

10 days!

I've been wanting to write a blog post for a while, but it just hasn't happened. And this one isn't going to be too exciting either.

We are leaving in 10 days, and are keeping busy with all the preparations. It's a lot of little things, like buying 3 months worth of shampoo and toothpaste (and figuring out how much we actually use in a three-month time period), packing, seeing people, and so much more.

And now we're off to run more errands.
