It's time to start packing! This is crazy! Where in the world did all the time go?!?! I am excited beyond words right now (...seriously, as I type this I can't do anything but smile and giggle a bit)! But this excitement has shown me how much God has blessed me!
This morning, my pastor and the deacons of the church prayed over my trip, then tonight in small groups there was more prayer time. Today alone I have gotten like 3 or 4 notes from people that are just straight up encouraging. Someone at church this morning hands me an envelope and says "Here's a little bit extra spending money", when I opened it, I found a $100. To me, at least, thats a bit more than a little bit.
God has blown my mind in monumental ways! It's pretty amazing! Through every person who donated, every person who has prayed, and through every person that's offered an encouraging word, God's faithfulness has echoed in my life. He has proven Himself faithful over and over and over and then some more! God is so good!
So now I begin the process of laundry and packing. I leave on Thursday (June 9) at 7:45AM. I would LOVE your prayers! They mean so, so, so much to me! Honestly, they do! I want to try to update my blog while I am gone as much as possible. So check back and they're might be something new; a photo, a story, or a video. At this point, I think I will be taking my laptop with me, although I have gone back and forth on this decision, a lot! So be sure to check for updates, also you can check out the group page on Facebook - Joanna Hammar- South Africa 2011 for updates as well.
Well, folks. It's time. I must go and begin the packing process. Love you all and I'm so grateful for you all!
