And We're Ready To Go...
In a few minutes we are heading to the airport. Michael is in the other room playing with our roommates' boys one more time. We will miss the sounds of a one and two-year old running around, laughing and playing and giggling.
Mostly, it all feels surreal right now. Our money is in (we'll post final numbers after we get to Rwanda). It is such a blessing to go knowing we won't have to worry about the funds while we're there. It's also a blessing knowing that countless numbers of people are praying for us today and over the next few months.
In some ways, this trip is almost two years in the making. It was about two years ago that Michael first started looking into the MBA program at Eastern University. That's when we first learned about the internship requirement. It was about a year ago that we really started to pursue looking for an overseas placement, and it wasn't until the summertime that we really started feeling directed towards Rwanda and this experience.
The last few weeks have been filled with saying good-byes ("It's only for 3 months," I keep telling people), and a lot of small errands that have created a hectic schedule. Michael and I are feeling ready for some downtime on the airplane, and are expecting to need a few days to adjust to culture, time change, and a new pace of life.
We are excited beyond words and are looking forward to what the Lord will show us in the next few days and weeks and months.
And now it's off to the airport!
