Well. Time to test out these wings of mine. Tomorrow begins the journey to Geita, Tanzania where I and four other interns will be spending two months living and working alongside two missionary families. But really the journey began long ago as the Lord has been preparing all of us for this before we knew He was. So tomorrow just marks the beginning of our physical journey. Four countries and two days later, we'll arrive at our new home! Bring on the Dramamine and airplane pretzels.
I can't say I know exactly what to expect. Or what to expect at all. But that's what I'm most excited about! I'm ready to not rely on the comfort of the known- caring friends, a comfortable home, my loving family, and peanut butter and banana toast for breakfast. I am and always will be grateful for these things, but I also know they can't sustain me. The One who does strengthen us and provide for us and protect us has been beside me this whole time and will continue to walk with me (or fly, if we're sticking with the bird reference). I'm excited to see how the Lord continues to strengthen my wings and catch me when they're weak.
