...before I leave for Africa. The reality is setting in. I'm packing and preparing and sewing and making patterns and I'm thinking about it now. I'm nervous. Will I be able to help these women in the way they need? What if... What if.. What if. I don't know what to expect. What I do know is I'm about to help change these women's lives, and they are about to help change mine. My heart is heavy with sorrow for their situation, but I know there is hope.
Please keep us in your prayers if your the praying type, or thoughts if your the thinking type.
