Well…”all my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…” I am leaving on 3 jet planes to be specific and finish that lyric :-) This will be VERY brief but here we go :-)
So much to say but I am so excited. I am BEYOND grateful for my sweet best friend who helped me SO much! I have a fully backpack full of snacks and things for my boyfriend and everything else is packed so well.
In packing I found out that I weigh 160 pounds…on carpet :-) haha! Yet on tile I magically lose 30 pounds!! Who knew! Today’s new weight loss!!
I am so excited to go on this journey. It is tradition to carry this leather zipper thing that I guess is supposed to be a bible case that says Victory Christian Center on it. I always carry Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty’s, Demonstration of the Gospel, inside of it. I cried last night seeing it and remembering all of that has been imparted to me in the means of heart for others and foreign missions by he and Pastor Sharon.
In leaving I did notice that Mr. Perfect Lawn did his yard yesterday…go figure :-) And it still smells like onions and Coco is still roaming around trying to bite things out of my hands.
In closing I leave you with a funny travel story. The first time that I ever went overseas it was to Thailand. I had just done some intense drama and dance training in preparation for the trip and had huge bruises on both of my knees. Once we got to Thailand, my bruises were gone! I began to praise God and thank Him for healing me. Later, when my swollen ankles went back to normal, my bruises returned….ha! Yes…I’m a dork, I know. Well Goodbye HamaBama-I’ll see you again in two weeks!! Kenya, here I come!!
OH and Easter Sunday just got SO much better (as if that was possible). My boyfriend was asked to speak at an international church in Nairobi for a couple of services Sunday morning! SO I will be in Kenya on Easter listening to him preach :-) God is amazing!
