two days.

My brain is reeling as I am about to begin my journey across the pond. All the fears and uncertainties I have of my time there and of what I'll miss here have been slowly drifting away as I feel God tying together all the last minute details. Even now, He is teaching me to trust Him with everything, bending me like a tree toward His will for me. My heart has long awaited this trip back to England, and now it is knocking on my door.

There are so many exciting things to look forward to, so many people to meet, and so much Jesus to experience. I am anticipating a lot of learning, growth, change, faith, and gaining a new perspective on God's plan for the nations and how incredibly massive His love is for us. I also get to join Kimberly, a dear kindred spirit to me. She has been an integral part of my growth as a Christian and as a woman. My heart swells with excitement as I eagerly await living wild and free and adventurous with no regrets in the place my soul longs to be. The Lord has proven faithful and faithful again in this time of preparation.

Things to pray for:

• My faith in Him to grow tremendously.
• The people we will be ministering to, that their hearts will be softened to the life-giving Truth and freedom of Christ.
• Smooth, safe and easy traveling to England.

My plane leaves Wednesday at 2:30pm from DFW airport, and I have a 1 1/2 hour layover in Atlanta, GA. Then off to Manchester, UK where I will arrive at 8:30am their time (or 2:30am our time!) on Thursday morning. Then I will take a train to Yarm, which is about 3 hours away. There, Bill (my England dad) will be picking me up and taking me to my home for the next 6 1/2 weeks. Please pray for all of this to go smoothly without any big glitches.

Life is coming full speed ahead, and I am ready for it. Two days away...I can't wait!
