Before we fly to East Africa we will be spending a few days at AIM's (our sending organizations) headquarters. To get all of our bags there, we rented a 12 passenger van to fit our luggage, the Allens and their luggage. We left Mesa at 4am on Sunday, drove 16 hours to pick up the Allen's in Houston, then (Trey mostly) kept on driving through the night. 1792 miles and 27 hours later, we arrived in Atlanta. We rearranged luggage so that we could take turns sleeping.
Over all of these hours on the road we had much to think about. I thought about things I wish I had said to those that I love before we left, I thought about the conversation Kyle and I had four years ago when we first talked about Uganda. We thought about how many people love and support us and how we are going to miss them. I also thought about how inadequate I am to be doing what we are doing. There was much to think about and even times to feel overwhelmed.
Over these last several hours I thanked Yahweh for his provision, leading and care of us. We do not know what the future holds, which can be terrifying, but I do know that we are being cared for by the God of the universe. He has a plan for us, and we rest in that.
So glad you made it safely! I think the most dangerous part of the trip is on US highways!! Your thoughts are good and Yahweh is going before you! Love you guys and look forward to many more posts!!
