Well today was the last day in Canada. Which I spent packing and doing last minute cleaning and sleeping.
Was reminiscing with my sister about how quick time goes by. It seems like so long ago that I first started planning this trip and yet here is at my door step. It makes you realize how precious time is. We tend to live day by day not really expecting much out of life and just trying to get by. I feel like God is really wanted us to sit down and really enjoy each second of every day. If we really believe that God is in everything than that in it self is something to always be joyful about. And yet we still saunter on just surviving till the next trip, or the weekend or even just to be home.
The best part of this trip is that everyday is brand new and will be filled with things so unexpected that there is no one to blame but God Himself. I'm excited to be living day by day, but not because I have to be but because each day is going to be so new and fresh that it will be like start over again. I hope that you can gain that same sense of enjoyment of life.
While I'm gone I'd love to keep informed of whats going on back home but also to be able to fill you in on my adventures so here's a list of contact information.

Trav, I agree, that when you first starting talking about going back to Africa, it seemed a long time ago. And then, like over night, you are gone. Bringing you to the airport was tough this morning. I know you are following God's call, and that is great, but as your earthly father, I wish you were closer. I know in my heart that you are doing God's work,and I am very proud of you for living out what God is calling you to do, just does it have to be in Africa.......
ReplyDeleteI know both of us are kind of quiet at times, but we both feel deeply about the people in our lives. Know that I Love you a lot, and could not be prouder of what you are doing.
God will always be with you, and your parents hold you in thoughts and prayers too. Take care.
