Before the Beginning...

Hello! So I've been avoiding writing this first entry because it just feels awkward. I mean, should I post before I'm there? Right before I leave? Will I have time for that? Ha! I think too much. So I thought I'd just go for it.

It won't be long before Nellie and I are leaving for Namibia. God has been hilarious throughout this process, let me tell ya... Funny, real funny! In the middle of fall I was going through a hard time. I was like "Man, God why won't You just tell me what I'm supposed to do after I graduate?!" I was seriously getting frustrated. I had prayed and prayed and prayed and listened and listened and listened and He just didn't tell me. I was like "I will go anywhere! Do anything! I don't care I just want what You want for me." and then He, in His own time and way, told me quietly with a smile on His face, "Hannah, You get to choose".


Man, that threw me for a loop! But I knew what I wanted, sort of. I knew I wanted to go back to Namibia for either 3 or 6 months. Both ridiculous amounts of time, looking back. He told me I get to choose, but I chose something so out of my "comfort zone" (gotta throw in some Christian-ese here and there ;) ) that it just doesn't make logical sense! It's like that one verse... "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart", but He doesn't mention that the desires of your heart will become just like the desires of His heart... hahah He is funny!


Anyway, God is moving. He is good. And He's just getting started...
