today is the day......

I woke up today with such mixed feelings....i'm so excited to be returning to this land I love.....the famaliar smell as I step off the plane...the friendly airport staff who will greet me with such sincerity...the few minutes I will stand there with held breath hoping my bags made it. I'm looking forward to the long drive into town where I just stare out the window soaking in the vast amounts of land scattered with men on bikes, every once in awhile a gathering place lit by candles of men playing pool and chatting into the night. The stars shining down...ahhh HOME.

But this time, my heart's excitement is hindered because I am leaving behind my baby, my sidekick, my bestie, my world. I know that she is not meant to go. I have a peace about leaving her, but every time I feel the excitement about going arise, the high comes crashing down when i remember it means I have to leave her. Please pray for this week, pray it be a productive week with TAWV things, that I resolve some issues I need to resolve there. For safety and health. And for Neema who is staying here with my parents. I am so thankful that we have a God who can be with both of us all the time even when we are not together. I know that he will watch over us and gaurd us during our time apart. Thanks for your prayers. I will be posting on the TAWV blog, so check in for updates! www.takesawholevillage.blogspot.com

Love and Thanks,
