This is me.
I'm afraid of taking risks.
I put myself and my needs before others.
My pride keeps me from asking for help.
I often count the cost before helping someone.
I'm scared to visit another country & culture for the first time.
Despite all of the ways I fall short, for some crazy reason, God still chose to love me and all sinners for that matter. I can never wrap my mind around WHY God chooses to love us...I just know that he does. It is this amazing love that is pushing me to share it with others.
So as I begin this blog about my trip to Africa, I want to be completely honest and open. I know that there will be many great experiences ahead, as well as some hard times. Africa does not need me, but by the grace of God I might make a small difference there. Beginning mostly in August, I plan to update this blog regularly about the experiences I have and the ways that God is working in my own life. If you are reading this, please, please pray! Ask God that my preparation, and especially my time in Africa will be effective.
In Christ's love
Elizabeth
