"A man's steps are directed by the Lord.  How then can anyone understand his own way?" --Proverbs 20:24

This has rocked my world. I can't even fathom the fact that God has created the universe, what makes me think I can begin to understand what the Lord has in store for me? 

I can honestly say that training camp has not been at all what I thought it was going to be.  I'm not even sure I knew what it would be though.  I've learned more about myself in the last 3 days then I ever thought possible.  I'm already learning things about my team, my family, things that make me want to change my attitude.  I have this whole new attitude of wanting to serve everyone selflessly.  We have a serve team here that never complains about their job.  They do what they are told because the genuinely love us.  WOW.  I hope to be just as effective in Africa as this team was to me.

We travel to Africa starting tomorrow (January 17th) and I'm soooo excited to be joined my a team who loves me. A team that wants to build each other up and a team that wants to be each others family.  There's no longer just me, it's us.  We won't have much time alone for the next four months and I'm so excited.  We may, at times, want to pull each others hair out but there's so much love that fills our team.  They are all beauitful, and I'm looking forward to knowing my team more personally.

Let the already started journey continue!
