June 15, 2010 - DEPARTURE!!!

I'm sitting in an airplane from Seattle to DC, headed to Liberia and in a complete daze!! How is this even possible? Completely mind-boggling.
These past few weeks have been insane, and my stress barometer met record highs with trying to finish up the last classes of my degree, (my last finals were yesterday morning)! And through all the craze of school, work and getting ready for Liberia, God has astounded me with His provision!
The very one most important thing I've been learning throughout the preparation of this trip is just simply "TRUST GOD". He has gotten me through so much that as I found myself in sticky situations regarding prep for this trip, I would simply say "That's alright, I trust You God." and I did - and He worked everything out.

Yesterday after finals, and final touches on packing - my parents drove me up to ChadMac's parent-in-law's house where most the team "crashed" for the early morning departure. A few of us stayed up talking into the *wee* hours of the night, and trying to stifle our dramatic laughter to avoid disturbing the others.
We crawled to bed (with extreme butterfly nerves) just in time to get two glorious hours of sleep - and I woke up faster than I've ever woken up in my LIFE. I literally opened my eyes in the process of sitting then standing up... guess I was anxious.


We arrived at the airport early, and went through check-in, baggage & security relatively smoothly.

Now I'm sitting next to Heidi (with everyone else randomly scattered across the plane) trying to grasp the reality that is.
