So the countdown begins....
I leave for Uganda in 4 days. 4 fleeting days until I experience one of the most abrupt changes that I have probably ever known. Everyone and everything will be different. One plane ride, and I will step into a country I have never been to, with customs completely unlike my own, a history that I cannot even begin to fathom, and people with stories and experiences more weighted than all my own put together. Also, a country so saturated with the Spiritual world that it frightens me. Yet Im fascinated, drawn, and desperate to encounter this.
I would be lying if I said I was not fearful. It really wasn't till this wk that I began to have apprehension. The last few days I've spent staying at the Sprungers home, dear friends from Savannah. They have been such a gift and carried me through moments of weakness. Before Savannah, my home in Texas was quite the respite too. A time filled with joy, love, and support from family and friends whom I love dearly. Thank you to everyone who has supported and cared for me so well.
When I think of the intention of this blog, I figure I want to be like a hymn. One that will obviously not be the least bit eloquent or poetically written. However, its intention is to bring praise to God. This is my hope. Also, that it would encourage others to bring praises to Him. I cannot emphasize enough how beautiful Christ is. I can testify this through the way he has led me to this journey. One that I have dreamt of for years. His canopy of Love and Grace has covered me the entire way.
I bid farewell to my fears and rest in Providence,
love you all, gracie
