Can I just be a girl for a moment? I’m still sitting in the Jo’bug airport…still hours before my flight to Swaziland, but I’m a bit giddy right now. Could be the caffeine from the latte, or the memories flooding back, but I think it’s probably more the excitement of arriving in Swaziland. I get to see Nick after nearly seven months–two-hundred-four days, to be exact, but who’s counting? :0)
I’m always talking about being transparent on my blog, but I’d say this is probably the most transparent I’ve ever been on here. I’ve always been pretty exclusive with whom I share this kind of information, or who I let see this side of me, but enough. You all are welcome to know that I currently feel like a fourteen-year-old girl, waiting to meet her crush for a middle-school dance. I feel goofy, and ridiculous, and child-like, but I’m okay with that.
I earnestly ask you all to be praying for us. This, obviously, will be a significant week for me, but even more for us. Pray that we are completely obedient to what God is asking of us. Pray that we are able to discern His voice through all the hubbub and emotion of it all. Pray that we are filled with integrity and honoring our authority in all ways possible. And pray for the ability to let go [again], and for each of us to be fully engrossed in our respective ministries after the week is up.
That’s it. Girly moment over. I’ll go back to writing sensible blogs now. :0)
