Beginning to begin

Testing. Testing.  One, two, three... (whispers) Is this mic on?

Oh, yes.  Well.  Here we go.

For all of you doubters out there, I have finally begun my blog.  I hope to be able to keep this updated while I am in Africa so you can follow me around.  I want you to be able to rejoice with me, pray with me, sing with me, comfort me, and worship with me. 

I am already behind.  God has done so much to prepare me for this adventure, and I want to journal it all.  All in good time.

Mom is here with me now- and we are practically finished packing.  All (well, almost all) of the supplies we received from our friends and supporters are in huge duffel bags filled to the 50 pound limit.  Last count is 6 bags. Glory to God! The people of Nairobi, Kenya are going to be so very blessed and are going to see and feel and hear the love of God.

I beg you to pray for me.  Pray for me to have open eyes, open heart, open ears.  Pray for my safety and my health.  Pray for Dawn and Pastor Carol.  Pray for the people to hear the greatest story ever told.

I love you all!  (especially you, mF)
