The time is near...

Four days until I fly to S.A and in five days I'll  be in Johannesburg. I’ve gone through a mixture of emotions as the time draws near. Up until now I have felt nothing but excitement for what is ahead, but as it gets closer I also have fear of the unknown.  As much as I want to go, I also don’t want separate from my friends and family, even if it’s only for seven months. I have no idea the challenges, people and experiences I will face, which is part of the excitement and fear.  God is putting me in a place where I must have complete trust and reliance on him.  Even though everything will be changing around me in a few days I can rest in peace knowing God's love endures forever and that he will never leave me.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken and the nor my covenant of peace be removed” Says the LORD Isaiah 54:10

    We just took you to the airport last night and I am full of emotions this morning; pride, excitement and fear. You are currently on the flight between New York and Johannesburg and I will be so happy when you are safely on the ground. I wish you an amazing and safe adventure! I love you, Mom

    Ashlee, you made it! Yeah! Now it is time we heard a little about your flight and landing in South Africa. From your family back in the USA (and Dad).
