One Month

I leave for South Africa in ONE MONTH!

This baby knows exactly what I feeling...

I don't know whether to run around the house screaming in excitement,

go on a mad packing spree,

spend 10 hours a day on my computer cramming my brain with Afrikaans,

visit Starbucks hourly so I'm so sick of it I can't wait to spend a year without it,

lock myself in my room shaking with nerves,

stare at my cool new countdown at the top of the page for the next month...

I just don't know what to do!

¹ Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
         His faithful love endures forever.
² Give thanks to the God of gods.
         His faithful love endures forever.
³ Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
         His faithful love endures forever.

⁴ Give thanks to him who alone does mighty miracles.
         His faithful love endures forever.
⁵ Give thanks to him who made the heavens so skillfully.
         His faithful love endures forever.
⁶ Give thanks to him who placed the earth among the waters.
         His faithful love endures forever.
⁷ Give thanks to him who made the heavenly lights—
         His faithful love endures forever.
⁸ the sun to rule the day,
         His faithful love endures forever.
⁹ and the moon and stars to rule the night.
         His faithful love endures forever.

So Many Goodbyes

How blessed am I to have so many people that are so hard to say goodbye to?!

I spent the last two weeks on a grand road (and plane) trip visiting so many people I love so dearly. It was an amazing two weeks. No expectations, no hard plans, just 14 days to spend with the people I care most about.
