I have no words to express my thoughts right now. I have been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to get my thoughts gathered. With just finishing up classes, all I can think of is summer...
I leave for Gabon in 11 days. I have 3 days to pack up my life here at school and then one week to pack up my life for the summer, in only 70 pounds of baggage. ugg, I just want to be there now.
My two friends and I leave May 22 for a week of training in San Diego. I just found out that we will be staying a few days in Ensenada Mexico for part of the training, but I dont know of what all we will be doing. We then leave May 29 for Gabon. I woke up the other morning almost nauseous from the thought. I feel like last summer is just a taste of what God had in store for us this summer. 10 days was simply not enough.
Im almost done reading CrazyLove. Its about living your life in such a way for a God that loves us with a ridiculous love. Just something Francis Chan says: "A person who is obsessed with God is characterized by committed, settled, passionate love for God, above and before every other thing, and every other being." I hope that can someday be said of me.
My friends and I will be reading Follow me to Freedom before we leave. It looks good.

I hear your anxious heart, your excitement, and your apprehension...all for a totally surrendered summer. So proud that you guys have chosen to follow God's leading back to Gabon. {A little jealous too, but don't tell} I look forward to following you on here all summer and seeing the ways God changes and molds you more closely to Himself. Enjoy your 3 days of fun and freedom!!! {But, please do encourage THE BOY to get his packing done too..his mother doesn't really want to do it for him!}
