The journey so far...update!

So many crazy things have happened since my last post. There have been some bumps along the way. Both in my planning as well as my personal life. But how deep, how wide, is his love, mercy, and grace. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways and I'm just dying to know what He has planned! Originally, I was going to Zimbabwe alone. Now, my friend and her husband are going! (That would be the same friend who told me about the orphanage in the first place.) Funny Isn't it? To say I'm excited would be a HUGE understatement. The Lord placed it on their heart as well and they decided to go! They bought a oneway ticket for June 1st. I just purchased my ticket and I depart on August 1st and will be there the entire month. I still have some little things left to plan but the major things are pretty much finished. I grow more anxious everyday and I can't wait to be there and love on all those sweet kids!
