I met with some wonderful friends this morning and got a chance to share about my upcoming move to Sierra Leone and give them specific things to pray about. It was such a blessing to hear their encouragement and know their promise to pray and support me. I have been very aware these last few weeks of how deep the relationships that I have made are. I am so grateful for friends and family who support and encourage me...even when I have crazy ideas! I thank God for you!
I am working on tying up loose ends at Crossroads and turning the leadership of Children's Ministry over to my fantastic team of leaders!
It's been a crazy few weeks getting things lined up but I am ready to start thinking about the steps I need to take to get ready for Sierra Leone in June. Wow! There are moments when I say that and I get this ball of energy and anxiety in my stomach. It's hard to believe at times that it's real. I am really moving to Sierra Leone. I am so excited about the kids and working with them and families there. The job is big but I feel (as far as I can tell today) that God has prepared me for it and will help me learn what I need to along the way.
Today I've been working on putting together a fundraiser concert and benefit for my move! If you are in St. Cloud on April 16th, I'd love to see you there!
