A Travel Companion

You know I was thinking about something the other day. I have been telling everyone that I am traveling independently(alone) to Kenya this summer...that it is just me who is going. I realized the error in my words....it was like God was essentially saying "Excuse me, you are not traveling by yourself...You have a travel companion."

Whoo hoo...I have a travel companion...the best travel companion ever! Everywhere I go in Kenya, He will be with me. He is the best at making plans and preparing things ahead of time. He doesn't have baggage but is willing to carry mine. He gives me energy and strength rather than zapping me of it. He helps me speak and helps me think clearly. He's a good listener and helps me to process. He does so much more than that and I'm glad to be traveling with Him. In fact, I am glad that I have been officially traveling with Him since the age of 12 and this is just another leg of the journey...the amazing race. So let me correct myself once and for all.....God and myself will be traveling to Kenya this summer....I will not and could not go without Him.

So a short update:
I am tying up loose ends here...figuring out bills, making contact lists, still networking and scheduling, have to soon pack and clean, etc. So far I am not overwhelmed..Praise God for this. I am just filled with anticipation. I am so blessed by the support I received so far and I continue to be floored by how God moves hearts and lives to come along side me in this endeavor (I know I am being redundant in saying it but it is so true). The Young Adult group I am a part of has decided to have a bowling fundraiser..where part of the proceeds go to the The SKY Mission. What a unique and great way to help God and I get to Kenya!!

Estimated Time of Departure (ETD): 12 Days.

Thank you everyone!!
