It's getting close!

Not too long until we're on our way!

I'm so excited, but I feel like there is still just so much preparation left to do - I have all my immunizations and our passports are on the way to get visas... It's really the spiritual preparation that is my biggest concern right now. I'm really trying to make sure I get quality time with God each day. He continues to teach me more about patience and humility in preparation for this trip. Please pray with me for just really rich time in the Bible and focused quiet times of prayer.

"Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings" -Psalm 17:8

We have a plan!
