I dont feel real.

I am laying in my bed at the Hotel in San Diego. So tired. I just had my first meal in 24 hours . I think ill take another nap. Tomorrow we have to take a shuttle back to the airport to meet up with the rest of the interns that will be with us in Mexico for a week of training. We will have two awesome speakers for the training and have been told we will be surprised as to what all will take place there. Im pretty excited. We have no idea what kind of living conditions we will be in, what food we will eat, or what we will be doing.

We found out that when we do actually leave here for Africa, it will be a 30 hour trip. I dont think I like that plan. I cant wait to actually get there and to serve however Gods uses us. This summer will be such an experience that I know God will use to help shape our lives and paths we take.

Last thought: God is so funny how He encourages and calms us in ways that would only make sense to us individually. Yesterday I was starting to wonder if I was really following Gods desires or my own to Go back to Gabon. He made it known to me again that it was His plan.

We have a funny God.

Ill try and update sometime this upcoming week.

    Glad you made it safely to California. Can you share God's little inside joke with us? If ist's too personal, no problem :) Too bad youdidn't get to see Jeremy while you were there. Spend your time on the flight to Africa in prayer and just being still. Stay safe - we love you :)

    I'm SO excited to hear the details of your training! I remember that plane ride SO well..only you're adding another 6 hours or so to it! WARNING: do not place your journal under your seat, assuming you will remember it when you disembark!
    Take care of Bethany and Nate!

    Jokes over... you can come back now...
    =)
    Just kidding!! I'm so glad to hear that you are safe and that you have met up with the other interns... can't wait to hear about them!
    I hope you are not feeling too nervous... remember that we are all here praying for you!
    Drew boy, you have a lot to offer the people of Gabon... I'm so encouraged by your true love for God and the friendship that you have shown me. =)
    I know, I know... you're probably sick of my mushy stuff. For goodness sakes I cried on you!
    But you'll just have to get used to it!
    I love you!!
    Can't wait to hear from you again. =)
