Anticipation

oh the Anticipation of the journey . . .

Yes, the journey is near !  Sometimes the anticipation can just seem to be agonizing, much like waiting for Christmas morning or summer vacation as a child.  About a week from now the Mission Team will depart led by Pastor Doug Vinez of Lake Norman Fellowship.  There is still so much to do, passport copies to be made, personal items to gather, packing of not only our clothes but the much needed supplies we are asked to bring from the "wish list" provided by some of the Mission areas. 

Of course there is still the dreaded "weigh in" too . . .  no, not for us, but for our luggage (lol).  There is a weight limit on our bags as well as a limit to how many we may take.  It takes time to readjust supplies when needed . . . it can be a bit like a free for all!  Where ever it fits and is still under the weight limit is where it goes, plain and simple.  :) 

I am feeling privileged to return to Mwandi again along with some great team mates.  I believe a part of my heart will always remain there.  So many great adventures and memories, not to mention some really awesome people.  It will be good to see friends again and to see how the children have grown.  Maybe its a bit like being a Grandparent before my time :), or I guess we could just go with being an Auntie, aye!?!

Good night to all, rest well and remember to cast your cares and concerns on Him who is able . . . able to do all things . . . the one who loves you so dearly and sincerely cares about you <3
