Waiting has never been something I have enjoyed doing. The extra time that I will be spending in the states has been a hard thing for me to get used to. My want and need to get to Africa has been growing with each day. There is always a reason why things happen and so I am trying my hardest to take encouragement from that. There is a reason why God doesn't want me to go to until October. God tells us to be strong, take heart, and to wait on Him. I have to say that I was frustrated and upset, but when I remembered that, it gave me peace in my heart about waiting.
Isn't it true that the hardest things are always the best things? This whole journey has definitely been hard, but I know the end result is going to be a turning point in my life. Waiting has been hard, but there is a reason I am waiting. Thank you for your continued prayers. If you have some time, I would love to hear from each of you. Your encouragement and prayers are what gets me through the hard times, so don't give up!! I need you!!
Riding in the passenger seat,

You are stronger than you think. We can relate to several instances where you have persevered through some tough times. God always does things in HIS time and remember that we are all praying for the success of your mission. HE is tempering your heart and mind for the hard but glorious path ahead.
Dear Heavenly Father, give this child the peace and understanding beyond her years and comfort here as she prepares for the journey YOU have set before her. She has surrendered to YOUR plan and needs. Father prepare the mission field for her to be as YOU want it to be most effective for her. I boldly ask this in the name of YOUR son Jesus Christ, Amen.
Get ready for the RIDE!
