Blessings

I got my tickets!
That statement alone brings sooo many emotions rushing through me! Excitement, fear, anxiety, joy....I keep thinking of all the people I will get to see again and it brings smile to my face and tears to my eyes. I know that I am going to miss my family, friends, and the comforts of home...but my heart continues to remind me of my love for the people of Argentina...drawing me...moving me...I can't explain it...but it speaks above the noise of my fears.

The other exciting piece of news is that my mom is going to join me for the first two weeks. The English immersion course, where we meet all the students and tutor in English for an intensive two weeks, is what I will start my journey with...so imagine my excitement when my mom said she'd go! Finally someone from my family is going to experience the place that I'm falling in love with :). This will be her first time overseas, and I can already see the anxiety in her that I remember feeling the first time I chose to go overseas way back in 2000. It is a great feeling to know that I can help her in this new adventure .... and I look forward to how the Lord will use this to deepen what she has already known about missions. I know it will be beautiful!

Today is a wonderful day. I may still have stress...I may not have my financial support or my support team put together...I may not have my room packed, or all the little tasks taken care of...but God has blessed me today. He is supplying my needs, one need at a time. I have just enough money to pay for my ticket right now...and I look forward to how God is going to provide for the miriad of needs I have before,during and after Argentina.
