What's New in my World.

Hi there. I figured it would be time for a check-in. I hope you are all doing well. It is a beautiful 50 degrees right now. I am sitting in Dawnette's kitchen as I type this, watching the sunlight shine through, bright and strong. The birds are chirping. The snow is melting. The windows are open. Spring has sprung.

In 54 days, our team will be en route to Nepal. That's like, less than two months. Really. (That also means that in less that two months, I will be finished with school, which is another terrifying thought in itself.) How quickly time flies. I wish we could be heading to Nepal right now. I want, I want, I want to be there. I am so ready to experience all of these things I have been hearing about for the past couple of months.

I have been thinking all about what we will be doing when we are there, and I think the thing that sticks out most in my mind right now is going to the orphanage. I cannot wait until I get to play and run and laugh with the Nepalese children. I feel like I know them already. I just have to wait to meet them. :) My heart is full of joyful anticipation of what is to come. Maybe it's because I'm an education major, or maybe it's because I love kids, or maybe because it's because I get to play with kids in a country completely different from my own--whatever it is, I am so ready to love on those kiddos.

I am just under 1/2 way funded for the trip. I am so, so, so blessed by all of you. I am thrilled to see what God is going to do for our team, and I am thrilled that I get to be a part of it. And the really awesome thing is that by coming alongside me in my journey, whether financially or prayerfully or both, we are a team. We are partners going through this journey together. That is the coolest thing. Thank you for letting me share this adventure with you. :)
