And they're off....

    It's Tuesday and boy I was not ready for everything I found out today! It is my first day back at school, no students today though, thankfully. After getting all of my work completed, I sat down to make a few phone calls to start getting prepared for the trip to Africa. I am so excited about this trip and the amazing work that I will be doing. I am so glad that God has shown me that this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing, because I may have gotten way too overwhelmed otherwise. I called the Health Department and spoke with one of the most wonderful, helpful, and sweet ladies about immunizations. She gave me tons of information so that I can start this process now.  I think that I have a list of at least 8 or 9 immunizations I need before going.
    Not only will I be meeting and getting started with her, but I will also be working with the closest travel clinic to make sure that I stay healthy for this trip. I feel that God has been working on my heart about this trip for awhile now, and has finally lead me to a place where I feel ready to go. As I was explaining to mom over break, but I have this wanderlust spark in my heart. I know that I love traveling, and right now am being pulled overseas to help do some amazing things. I know that my journey from the past to the present has been crazy and awesome, and I can only wait to see what else He has in store for me. As I learned and was reminded of Sunday in Sunday school, but God knows and foresees everything. He knew that he wanted me to be living and working where I am right now, in order for me to begin thinking about this trip. It is so AWE-inspiring to see the journey that I have been on so far.
     My next step will to be to write letters, emails, continue my blog, and get followers to help me make this journey become reality. I know that by my being obedient to this calling that God will help those that I know, and even those that I don't know to help provide for me to be able to go on this amazing trip. I am open to all ideas and would love anyone's help. Please, tell your friends, neighbors, relatives, and anyone else about my blog  and to help follow me on this journey. I would also appreciate any prayers as I continue through this journey and just the journey of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for following my blog and helping me to get the word out.
