So it's now six weeks exactly until January 1st, the approximate date I had in my head that I would be leaving for Africa, and I still don't even have my assignment yet. This means that no official fund raising has begun (and I'll be needing to raise, in my best estimate, $8000 - $10,000 BEFORE I'm allowed to leave). No visas have been applied for (cause I don't even know for sure what country I'm going to). No plane tickets have been bought (don't they get more and more expensive closer to the date?). There's a heck of a lot that has to happen AFTER I get my assignment.
I'm starting to accept the possibility that I won't be going first thing in January. But then there's a little voice inside my head that says, "Oh you of little faith, why do you doubt?" I know God CAN do it, but I guess I'm just starting to wonder if he WILL.
Prayers are much appreciated!!! That assignment needs to come through SOON!

You'd think they would know that you need to know! Yikes!
hmm, patience and trust. what a good little lesson to begin your adventure with!!!! haha.
our plan is always so one-sided, so faulty, so full of cracks. God has got a plan for this, Hillzzzz, and His is good and solid.
and WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO SEE IT ALL AT ONCE. sigh.
i'll be praying for you! for peace of mind and also - that people are feeling the tug on their pocketbook to write some checks. :)
love you - sarah
umm, and i hope that didn't come across as condescending... i say all of that from being smack dab in the middle of needing patience and trust!!!
