Counting the days...

This morning I woke up (very early I might add) and was hit with the realization that I'm really leaving for Africa!! Wow this is crazy....as the days go by I am reminded of the blessings that God has for us each and every day. He is not waiting for me to be in Africa to bless me but rather takes every opportunity to shower His love upon me. He is not waiting for you or I to "have it all together" before He will work in and through you but is rather willing to take a chance on us, a chance that will stretch us in ways we never dreamed of. So instead of counting the days I am challenged to live each minute and hour of every day serving and soaking up the blessings that God has for me and I challenge the same for you.
