Overwhelmed...

  • By all of the logistics of the trip, like how to stuff everything into the suitcases....praying they will not be overweight.
  • By how quickly time flies and how soon our departure date is approaching. Yikes!
  • By the incredible generosity of so many people who donated much-needed supplies for the Rafiki Village!! Thank you!
  • By my wonderful family. I'm so grateful they were able to visit Rafiki when I was there last time and wish they could be joining me this time!
  • By the way our incredible God works and the way He has provided money for our trip!!
  • By God's grace and patience with me as He continues to refine me.
  • By the power we have in the Holy Spirit. (I just read Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire and am challenged to say the least.)
  • By the love and joy I feel as I think about reconnecting with the kids I taught and the amazing people I worked with!
  • By the insurmountable need in our world and what my role is in that.
  • By our infinite God!!!

Airport folks are sometimes forgiving when they know your luggage is full of supplies for Africa. If the weight ends up close, you might mention that.
