Thump Thump

As I settled in to bed the other night, I tried to unwind from my night of volunteering for the hopeline. Often times, I think about my callers, their reason for calling and the outcome of the call. Before I drift off to sleep, I pray for them.  This week, I included in my prayers, the team that is currently in Malawi and then our team who will be leaving in 2 1/2 weeks. As I started to realize how close it really is, my heart started pounding. It was pounding so hard and so fast, that I thought it was going to jump right out of my chest. The pounding echoed in my ears and vibrated my chest. I am so anxious to leave, that it's becoming a little surreal that it's so close. I have been waiting for over a year for this trip, and now, it's here.  I know that I will not come back the same person. God is going to show me some amazing things and move my heart in ways that I cannot imagine. I know that it's going to be hard for me to put into words and share with everyone, but I will do my best and hopefully be able to capture as much as I can on camera. I invested in a missions journal and will do my best to write everyday what's going on in my heart and mind, so that I can share it with you when I get back. (I may or may not be able to access internet while I am there. If I can, I will try and post some things.)

If any of my readers are prayer warriors, please lift up our team in prayers, daily. Thank you so much! You can never have too many people praying for you.
