18 days are all that
stand between me and China. Part of me can't believe I am typing these words. I
initially e-mailed New Day a year ago an anticipated going in the fall. Then
you know the story, setback after setback. But now it's just about go time! After
waiting for so long, it's time to GO!
Here's a quick recap
of the timeline:
April 2014- e-mail
New Day about volunteering
June/July 2014-
officially apply and interview
September 2014-
start support raising and visa process
October-March 2014-
visa craziness
March 18- find out
the teaching visa won't work, decide to go on a tourist visa
March 19- buy plane
tickets
March 27- get visa
(good for 10 years, 90 days per entry)
April 24- leave for
China
April 25- arrive in
China
My favorite part of
this timeline is the last few entries and how fast everything has happened! It
really reminds me of God's plans and how when God says it's time to move, it's
time to move and He will make everything fall perfectly into place!
Oh, and the empty
suitcases, they are out and ready and I have things spread out on the floor so
they won't be empty much longer! BUT I want to make sure they are as full as
possible. Since I will be making a short trip home at the end of July and don't
have to pack everything at the beginning I made an Amazon wish list full of
items New Day would love to have! I will happily take everything over and can't
wait to show you the kids using the items!
Thank you SO much
for your prayers, support, and encouragement!
