Expectant...

I don't know if I could have fit anymore meetings, emails, fundraisers, cups of coffee or bottles of Excedrin into the past 6 months! It has been a whirlwind time of preparing for this trip to Zambia! My family and I leave in less than a week and the team meets us there in 3 weeks.

We started out on this journey 8 months ago with the first informational meeting and this past Saturday we had our last official meeting for the team. I am excited to see what God is going to do in and through this team. I am exicited about all the hope that is going to be handed out and the love that is going to be taken in.
I am excited about the awarness that will open the eyes of the women and the transformtion in the hearts of the men. I am excited about a lot of things but I am more than excited, I am expectant for God to show up.

Expectant in the God who has never let me down. Expectant in the God who says He will never leave us nor forsake us. Expectant in the God who can do more than we ask or imagine. A God who is already in tomorrow and knows our needs before we ask for them.  I am expectant in a God who is in the business of restoring lives and breathing hope into dry and tired souls. I am expectant in a God who will heal bodies and mend broken hearts. I am expectant for God to again break my heart for what breaks His. Monday can't come soon enough! Especially can't wait to see this young lady again in the video:)  Just seeing God work in her life makes all the Excedrin and late nights, stress, paperwork and preparing worth it!
