Here I am sitting at my gate in the Cleveland Airport with lots of time to think about what I'm about to do. I just said goodbye to my family with many tearful hugs and a I will see you soon. It was really hard, but I know that I am not alone through this trip. I am so thankful for all of your prayers, they will carry me through. I sit here and look around at all of the people who are traveling with me. I would say about 95% percent of them are on their way home for Christmas. People all around me are on their cell phones calling their families with anticipation for their arrival. Then I am reminded...I'm going, not coming. I'm leaving my family for Christmas. I won't lie and say that I'm not scared because I am, but I know that even though i am not going to be with my family this Christmas, I am going to be doing God's will and that will make the best Christmas present ever. This trip is something I have anticipated for months and I can't believe it is finally here. I'm only 24 hours aways from being in Mali. This will be one of the hardest and the best Christmas ever.
Next Stop...Paris : )
