Wow, July 2013 was a long time ago, or so it seems. My poor, neglected blog has lain dormant, wondering if it'll ever be remembered again. As for me, life continued on to a new rhythm. And now, as many are aware, I've been back in PA for 10 months, and am now working on final preparations for my move to Tanzania East Africa.
I remember those many moments of longing to be in a third world country. Of wishing I weren't "stuck" in America doing school. Now, I'm just over 2 weeks away from flying out of the U.S.A. with no idea when I'll return!
How does it feel? Honestly, I almost feel a bit numb right now. It's hard to believe it's actually happening. That I'm about to fulfill a dream I've had for as long as I can remember, to move to a third world country with no idea of when I'll come back. On the other hand, with all the responsibility I'm going to be taking on, and the long road of language and culture study ahead of me, I feel a bit overwhelmed.
I cling to the promises of God. That He will be made strong through my weakness. That His grace will be sufficient for every day. That all things work together for good if I love Him. That He will carry my burdens and cares if I but cast them upon Him. And especially, that He never changes.
Praise the Lord. In this changing world, I serve an unchanging God.
