About 2 years ago, a dear friend and fellow missionary challenged me to make the most of my current single status by considering giving at least a year of my life on the missions field. The idea sounded so crazy to me at the time, but after taking some time to pray about it, I came to believe that this was actually something God wanted me to do. And ever since I began to pursue the idea, doors have opened for me right and left. There were definitely many obstacles I encountered along the way, and I had set goals to be there much sooner than planned. But those obstacles have been overcome, and in retrospect, I now know that I will be arriving in Botswana not too late, not too early, but right on (God’s) time.
I’m happy to announce that I finally have a departure date: July 26, 2012! My plane tickets are purchased and my passport is burning a hole in my pocket:)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers! Your prayers have been a HUGE part of what has gotten me to this point. Please continue to keep me in your prayers!
