we leave in three days...i can hardly believe it! last minute errands, prayer, time with family and friends, packing, more prayer, and reading are filling these last days.
how do i feel? in a word...excited. nervous? surprisingly not. i have an utter sense of calm and peace, which can only come from God. i feel so blessed to be a part of this team. to have the chance to meet and be impacted by the people of afghanistan.
i am looking forward to:
*being wildly (and subtly) changed
*having my perspective on life blown open
*experiencing a radically different culture
*being quieted (got to work on toning down the loud laugh a bit more) :)
*connecting...with my team and the people of afghanistan
*being used by God
for those who are curious, we head out monday afternoon...denver, DC, dubai, then kabul!
oh yeah..."kooja?" is dari for "where?" (dari is the main language i'll encounter in afghanistan)
later!
