Well here it is Monday...
and I leave on Saturday...
not to mention that it's an 18 hour plane ride to Johannesburg, South Africa....
I can not believe that I am actually getting prepared to leave the country for 17 weeks. I've been thinking about studying abroad since freshmen year, and now here it is!
For all of you reading this, I hope that this journal is a way that we can take this journey together. I've never done the "blogging" thing before, so it shall be interesting!
I really don't have much to say other than I'm a bit of a bundle of nerves, as to be expected.
Never have I been overseas, let alone for about 4 months...
But I am excited about the journey ahead. I know that there will be difficult, emotional, beautiful, painful, joyful, laughter-filled, and tear-afflicting moments...
Yet even in the discomfort, I know that God is faithful, and that is all i need right now.
God bless, my friends

Kim,
God is going to use you in a powerful way in Africa. The first step was your obedience to say "yes" and get on that plane! Now that He has you where He wants you, you will experience peace, joy and fulfillment like you never imagined you could. His mighty hand will cover you with His protection and love. You have nothing to fear young lady.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." --Jesus to Paul,
2 Cor. 12:9
Prepare yourself to be changed forever Kimberly...
Love, Lisa O'
