10 More Days!!!

I cannot believe that I leave for South Africa in 10 more days!!!! Boy, does time fly when you are having fun. :) It is weird to think that just a couple months ago I was waiting for an acceptance email into the program. In late August I jumped for joy because what was once a vision became a possibility. And now the possibility is transitioning to reality right before my eyes. I sometimes still feel the shock and stand in awe. Not once did I think that I would be in the position where I am at now. There is no way that I could have predicted this moment in my lifetime. I have two words to say: But God. I thought that I would not have the funds to study abroad, but God intervened and provided. I thought that I would not graduate if I left the country the second semester of my junior year, but God made a way out of no way. I did not know how I would get everything I needed to succeed in school as well as abroad in South Africa, but God opened the doors and brought the right people in my path to help me out. I did not know how to trust others with the responsibilities that I am leaving behind, but God has taken care of all my concerns. The list goes on and on. I do not know what will happen in the future I but I know that I want to be planted and rooted in Christ so that I may flourish and produce fruit by the means of living water. My life is not my own, but it is in the hands of the maker of heaven. God I surrender to you. Prepare my heart and let your will be done.10 MORE DAYS PEOPLE! This is unreal. Oh wait.......this is my real life. :D
