Africa Update

I realized the other day that I had blogged about going to Africa in October, but had failed to blog that the trip has been post-poned.

A couple of months ago the girls that I had planned to go to Africa with started talking and as we were all honest with each other, we realized that over the course of the previous week we had each begun to feel a little uneasy about it. We were all just scared to say anything to one another . I had my hesitation because I was not entirely sure where the “uneasiness” was coming from. If it was because I was nervous about getting the money together, then that isn’t a reason. God had proved time and again that he will provide in the craziest of ways…I just have to have faith. But if it was because We really should hold off on the trip and that was the Lord’s way of confirming that, then I needed to listen.

We spent the following week diligently praying about it, and decided that we would post-pone the trip until the first of next year.

I was really sad/disappointed after we cancelled it… but since the decision has been made, each of our circumstances have changed that further confirms October would not have been the best time.

So although I cried a little that I would not be reunited with those sweet little faces and my friends at the orphanage as soon as I would like, I know it is for the best and I just have to be patient.

In the mean time I will continue to look at my pictures often, pray for them, and keep in touch via emails.

Miss you guys at Sonrise So much!!!
