We're going places

I just put into my handy-dandy countdown widget my expected date for departure to Benin.

248 days remaining.  Seems like a lot.  

The fact that I'll be leaving at all hit me with a reality check Friday as Jennifer said her goodbyes to everyone at work.  I had gotten to the point at work where I completely hated it.  After much prayer and seeking God's will I have received a new heart and outlook on the whole thing.  He's given me a purpose where I am now.  Nothing we do in this life goes into an abyss of no reason.  There really is a point to it all.  Everything.  "We live every day as our last," says Bro. Danielson.  I want to live my life like this.  No games and complete genuine love for the people I know (though I'm not good at it on my own).  We're all in this together.

Lord, continue to prepare me for this beautiful adventure You are allowing me to experience.  This life.
