How then shall we live?

As a Christian, how should I be living my life? I have to ask myself this question sometimes. In the middle of this crazy, fast paced world that we are living in, I still want my answer to remain the same - my life should be lived for God and for others. This semester I will be studying in Rwanda and Uganda, and doing mission work with Food for the Hungry. These next few months I want to make a drastic change in my life by living not for myself, but for others. Through my studies and my interactions I hope to find a new and better understanding of what it means to be a child of God. I want to leave with no question in my mind that there is so much more to my life than my own happiness. I want to make my Creator proud, by loving his children.

2 DAYS LEFT!

Two Days left until I leave!!

Okay I'm sure anyone who is reading these is getting sick of the packing updates so I will keep this brief. I PROMISE that this time next week I will have a more interesting things to say.

I went to Kohls and Target for a swim suit and toiletries. With the pile of things in the guest room growing i am really afraid I wont be able to carry it myself.

Church was good. It was nice visiting with everyone one last time and getting hugs and encouragement. There are always two reactions when you say you are going to Africa:

1. "Oh WOW! That is so exciting! I'm so jealous, that is such a wonderful opportunity!!"
or
2. "Really? Wow that sounds really dangerous. please be careful.. Have you ever seen Hotel Rwanda? "
:) haha. I am happy to receive either response.
