Stamp of approval

I found out on Tuesday of this week that Good Shepherd's Fold is where AIM has officially agreed to send me! So much happened that day-I found out my placement (officially), got a budget, and got to talk to the mission board at Conference Baptist Church. HUGE roller coaster of emotions-in the five minute drive from my house to CBC, I was elated, terrified, singing in the car, crying, then just laughing at myself. Too many emotions!

Before I found out more logistical things, such as placement and budget, I was all "oh, yay, Africa." And now I'm like- "whoa-Africa?" I think the reality of being away from home and my family (so sad-I'm going to be a mess at the airport), spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, my birthday, away from all that is familiar-is beginning to set in and terrify me. But I guess that is a good place to be-when I'm unsure of my next step, that is when I cling the tightest to God. Unknowns do that to me. So I think this is a good place to be.

More specifics are on the way-will keep you posted. I would appreciate prayer-especially that fear would not paralyize me, and I would keep on moving forward.
