In my defense, it's particularly relevant today because (drum roll, please...) my plane tickets are purchased! In a matter of weeks, I will be catching a plane to the island!
I'll fly with two of my Haiti teammates- what an incredible blessing. Knowing my natural tendency toward worry and stress, not to mention how paralyzing that can be when I'm alone in a new situation, I am so reassured to know that I'll take each leg of that journey with some friendly faces. God takes care of His children!
I tend to find inspiration for blog posts when I should be doing other important things...like sleeping, for instance. Thus, I will keep things brief. But I thought it might be fun to share some pertinent "count-downs" as I wrap up this chapter of my life. So here it is, Haiti prep by the numbers:
Number of days left at my job: 5
Number of days until I depart for training in CO: 19 (this number is still freaking me out a little...so much to do!)
Number of days until I leave the country: 37
Number of items still on my to-do list: 23 (Accomplish a few, add a few to the list, accomplish, add...ad nauseam)
Number of daily calories consumed because I keep thinking about foods that I love that I might not have in Haiti: Ha. Like I'd tell you.
Many of you have told me that you're praying for me. Believe me when I say that words cannot begin to express my gratitude. Thank you for praying, and please continue! Pray that:
- I would be diligent in accomplishing the important tasks
- I would say goodbye well as I face that challenge in the next few weeks
- I would, on an ongoing basis, be putting my trust in Christ
