So...today is my 3 weekaversary here in Africa.  I've been thinking about what i've learned in my short time here and i think God's doing a lot in my life.  For the first time in my life i feel like God is holding me in the palm of his hand.  I feel like He's watching over and protecting me.  From the time I applied with MercyShips God's been faithful to me.  He brought in the finances for me to come, took care of my apartment difficulties, got me safely into Africa and all my bags made it.  Today Paul and I broke up.  And honestly, i feel like God is saying "do you trust me? I haven't let you down yet why would i now?" I feel strangely confident that this is the best thing in my life.  I'm actually surprised i'm not more upset about it.  God has brought some of the most amazing blessings into my life in the form of friends and community here.  I know now more then ever that God wants me here.  I would truly appreciate all your prayers.  Please pray that God would keep my mindset this confident in Him.
I debated whether or not to even post about this but i feel like it's what God's been teaching me so it's worth letting people know about.
Tonight Hannah, Rhoda Matt Kelly and I made dinner.  it was delicious! we had a beef peanut noodle thing.  Pretty darn good.  Unfortunately my phone had died so i couldn't take any pictures but Hannah has some pictures that I will try to get from her and post.  Then we watched Tangled, an absolutely wonderful movie!
