In less than 1 month I will be done with the journey I had started when I went to Africa in April 2008. It is ending sooner than I thought, but at the same time, I know it is best for me on so many levels. I am beginning to realize also that it may take time to get back to Africa. I am at a point where I could just pack up and move for a while right back and would love nothing more than to do just that, but at the same time, I know these physical issues need to be resolved. The other part of me thinks I could certainly seek treatment overseas too...and it may even cost less to do that...I just need to be wise here and take the steps accordingly. I have finally found an amazing doctor here and she is on-the-ball and means business! I don't think it would be wise to leave at this juncture when I'm getting close to answers now and pinpointing what is going on. I think it also makes sense to get back to Africa properly having the funds in place to begin the ministries I would like to and have been invited to be part of. So, while I am here, I think I will begin the process of launching a non-profit and raising funds I'll need to live abroad for awhile.
I've been really thinking lately about how much time I put into living in the future and future planning...that sometimes it's easy to miss the here and now. I am going to challenge myself to start living more fully in the here and now. It doesn't mean losing sight of the journey or where I hope to be in x amount of time, but it does mean trying to enjoy where I am right now rather than be wishing I were always someplace else. :)
So, yes, transitions are coming...they are on the doorstep. I have no idea what I will be welcoming in, but I will welcome it one day at a time.
As I write all that out, I am still itching to get right back to Africa...but I think I need to restrain myself for a time...there is always a reason, I must remember...prayers please. :)
