Well, I'm headed back to Tanzania! I'm amazed once again that the Lord wants to use me.
ME!!! I'm a hot (as in flashes) mess, but apparently, that's okay.
Last year, I went on the trip with much fear and trepidation. Tears were constant for the two weeks prior to leaving and for the first few days in country. I cried pretty much every day driving to work from FEAR - I thought, "Am I crazy? I'm going half-way around the world with people I barely know!" BUT, I got on the plane anyway. Then, I cried when we were there training before we went to villages because I was so humbled that God had chosen me to go to Africa (A-F-R-I-C-A, me!!!!) to share His love with others; I cried when I met my translator (her name is Dorothy - my Grandma's name was Dorothy - I felt it was another confirmation that I was where the Lord wanted me); and finally, I wept when I witnessed the first few people accept Christ's gift of forgiveness in their ives. It was the most inspirational, awesome, life-changing event of my life.
And, so I'm going back, but not because I want to (I do), but because I believe, once again, that the Lord wants me to. I'm excited to see people that I met last year, but I'm most excited about the opportunity that awaits for me to share my story of Christ's redemption in my life.
