So, I'm sitting in the airport right now, and my flight to London is boarding in about 15 minutes. I am sitting slouched in a chair looking out the window, and I just still can't believe that this is my life right now. I. am. going. to. AFRICA. I almost had a little panic attack after I checked my two bags and started walking to the gate-I was thinking, "What the HECK am I doing?? This is crazy!!" I am so excited, though, to just trust that God knows and that I really only need to know one step at a time.
Right now, that one step is making sure I didn't lose my ticket already (don't worry, Dad, I didn't-that was a joke. My ticket is right next to me on the seat.) and finding my aisle seat (YES!). It is a little bittersweet leaving home, but I am so much looking forward to what is ahead.
I'll update as soon as I can when I arrive in SOUTH AFRICA!!! I land tomorrow at 9:00 AM (SA time...so that's 3:00 AM in the US). My flight is calling me...
All to Him,
Emily
