Nerves and Excitement

I am officially getting nervous about my trip. Don't get me wrong, I am also super excited. I know this is going to be an amazing adventure. I know the Lord is going to move through me and change me in ways I can not imagine. I know I'll look back on this and feel blessed and happy for being able to serve the neediest of people. So why am I so stinkin nervous? It is the classic case of my knowledge and my feelings not lining up. Please pray my anxieties would be lessened. Afterall, it is usually about the journey and not the destination, correct? I know there are lessons to be learned even now, in my preparation for my trip. Probably, to surrender those nerves to the Lord, huh? =P

People keep asking how the preparation is going...I feel right now, it is getting the check lists done. I could use your prayer that my VISA would arrive and that my travels would be smooth. I have a lot of anxiety about the travel. Thanks everyone for your support! Also, here is the address for Cradle of Love:

Cradle of Love Baby Home
P.O. Box 360
Usa River, Arusha,
Tanzania
EAST AFRICA

While I am at the orphanage I can receive letters and padded envelopes. Please don't send anything larger as I will be charged a fee (if it even makes it to me, boxes are targets!). Don't forget I will have Internet access as well!

Love you all,
Jess
