but a vapor....

This week reality is setting in....the reality that in a little over 2 months I will be on a plane heading to Jo'burg, the reality that I will be on my own, the reality that I will be spending 5 days a week working with sweet children, the reality of letting go of my expectations....so many thoughts jumping through this mind..

A few days ago someone asked me if I was even a little sad....and the answer is..I do have my moments...I realize all the things I will miss getting to see..birthdays, Christmas, friends engagements--just to name a few..but then I am reminded that I am going to be living the dream that the Lord place on my heart 7 years ago. And that fact alone blows my mind....

In the past few days one thought keeps going through my mind....Serve Him while I am waiting...I can't just be living for October 10th...there is so much time between now and then that I should spend sharing the love of Christ...

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. James 4:13-14
