Leaving on a jet plane

So tomorrow is the big day!  Myself and the 2 other ladies leave for the UK for 2 weeks.  I'm excited and nervous at the same time.  But it's funny, God is consistently showing me how much He provides.

It still blows me away how God moved people's hearts to just send us to Betel.  I know how hard people work for their money (thinking of how hard I work), and yes, it is all God's anyway, but we end up choosing what to do with it.  And it's been such a blessing.

When I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, I cry.  Can't help it.  That's just how I'm hardwired.  And man, did I do some crying after my support letters had been sent and donations started coming in, up until this past Friday when I shared with a home group what God has been doing in my life even before the trip so far. We reached our goal and then some.

Arg.  Sometimes I don't like the waterworks and feeling so vulnerable, but it can't be helped.  I need a faucet with a handle or something on the side of my neck to help turn it off.

But I'm grateful for the blessings and support from my church, family, and friends.

And if I can help it I WILL come back with a picture of me holding Will and Kate's baby.  If I can get past the Royal Guard.  :3
