Africa Plus Update

33 days to THE trip and counting..... Someone asked me to do updates on my trip. Well here you go....My support is now at 85%. PtL. I get my shots tomorrow morning. Oh goody. Actually I am very thankful. I do not need that many. I am still reading Janine Maxwell's book It's Not Okay with Me. (Janine Maxwell and her husband Ian are the co-presidents of Heart for Africa, the organiztion I am going with). What an eye opener. It's affecting the way I look at life, and I haven't even been gone on the trip yet.


I think I'll do updates on others things too. As you may know, between my roomate moving and the trip to Africa, it feels like many things are changing. Aren't you glad God is constant? I am.


Nana (my roomate's code name from Camp Maripa) is moving in a week. AHHHHHH! I don't know if that was her or me. Okay - truth - it may have been both. 10 days after she leaves, I leave Arizona to head for Wisconsin. Then I fly onto Africa and return to AZ at the end of July. Packing for a month and two different climates.


Prayer

*My packing and Nana's

*Nana is giving many things away and I am keeping some. Pray that I would adjust to change quickly and not worry about how to replace stuff. God can replace it when it is time and I can wait.

*Adjusting to living on my own in the coming months

*Traveling mercies

*Continued preparations for Africa

*My health - I am healthy. The enemy is just throwing up minorly annoying health stuff.



Praise

*Our friend eye is being healed - she almost went blind.

*I have a teaching job for next year.

*I have decided not to move at this time.
