7 days and counting.....

The final week.
It’s crunch time.
My room is empty back in Lynchburg as I will be heading to a new apartment on my return in January. My car is packed, and I've said goodbye to my friends in Lynchburg.
It’s Wednesday August 1st. I’m flying to Texas to spend one last week with my family in Dallas before heading out next Wednesday for my semester in Uganda. I’m not going to Uganda right away, instead I’m heading out two weeks early to spend some time in Rwanda.
- I. can’t. wait.
While I will miss my friends here, and my family, I feel like I’m not leaving home, but instead finally flying back home.
Rwanda, land of a thousand hills, and home to some of the most beautiful people on earth. My friends, my sisters and my brothers, and my African mom-Margret.

I saw a quote from Rick Warren once that said something along the lines of, If God calls you somewhere, you will be unhappy anywhere else.
While I know there is a time for everything, and my time is in Lynchburg finishing school, my heart’s desire is to pick up and move to Rwanda long term right now.

As I prepare to leave and be gone for the next 4 1/2 months, I covet your prayers. It is going to be a semester of growing and learning and it is my prayer that I will be open to learning, both in Rwanda and in Uganda.
