Through Painted Deserts

I haven't written in a rather long time! I guess recently, going to Uganda in October is becoming more and more of a reality! My excitement is definitely increasing by the day, and I think about it even more (as if that was possible in the first place!)...

I'm on the verge of purchasing my plane ticket...Light Gives Heat has been updating and redoing a few things...and I have noticed how much of a blessing sending in my application last Fall was! They have changed their policy so that, if I had sent in my application earlier this year, I would not have been able to go with their organization. I feel very blessed to have everything work out so well thus far! God is good!


Right now I am reading one of Don Miller's books..."Through Painted Deserts". I haven't gotten very far yet, but it is basically amazing! What really struck me, or what really got through to me, was the author's note. It was positively lovely and all about just living your life, and not worrying so much about everything in the long run...well, to an extent....you can't have these days back. We are never coming back to them. This last few minutes of typing, is never going to be returned to me. I felt as if I could definitely relate...or it was as if he was speaking to me, as an individual, rather than to an audience. After I thought about it, I suppose it made me realize that I am not alone in my wonderings and thoughts and feelings and desire of greater, bigger things...and travel, and the wantings to do things and go places and explore this place the Lord has brought me into.
