It's finally here. It's really here. I'm leaving. There are things I am happy to leave, and I am happy to be going to Africa! But there's so much I'll miss as well. Like all the wedding prepatations my sister will be doing! And I'm gonna miss my mummy and daddy (and the rest of my family) so much. But I'll get to rest now, and I'll be where God wants, and there is no better place than that. I hope my cat gets fed, but I'd better keep myself fed spiritually too. I don't wan get too busy, or too distracted, etc. The three months will fly off so fast and I'm gonna come back a totally different person but I am so looking forward to it! And I am mostly looking forward to God doing some amazing work. But in His time and His way. I must go and pack. Maybe I'll catch some sleep first. I need that a lot. VM

I've been reading the stories of Elijah and Elisha again. The power that they had to do all those incredible things is the same power I have in me now. I remember Jesus taking two small fish and 5 loaves of bread and feeding thousands and thousands of people. It feels like I only have 2 small fish right now and I look around at the crowd of hungry faces and wonder what I'll do...I must hold 'unswervingly' and believe that Jesus will multiply those small fish in 4 weeks and I must be overly grateful for those fish. My favorite brother turned 22 last week. He's not been the happiest camper lately, but I am still praying for Him. What do I want? I want to believe. In growth and in the Lord's will being done. VM

So after much searching through airlines and lining up timing, I've decided to leave Jamaica on Dec 31st, overnight in London then arrive in N'Djamena, Chad on the 2nd of January, 2010. That means I have a little over a month left! And Christmas is almost here too. :) I've been learning french...Remy on youtube was great, but I needed to speed things up a bit. The Lord provided someone that lives walking distance away to do french classes with me for free. I am very grateful for the classes, but I was also reminded why I didn't do french in CXC! Lol. But I must keep pressing. I've been so encouraged by the persons that have volunteered to support me in prayer and financially. It has been suggested to me to actually have persons meeting to pray, so I'll have to consider it and try to get that organised before I go. I've worked on a budget and I was surprised to find that the plane ticket works out to more than half of the total expenses! I should have expecte

So I've decided to start a blog. It should prove easier to keep everyone updated than me sending out e-mails to many different people, esp when I may not have a lot of time onlne, depending on where in the world I may be. So follow on and share your thoughts too. I hope my views will be of some use. :)
