.....IM HOME!

It's hard to believe that 48 hours ago I was walking around in South Africa and now I'm cozying up in my bed.. in ALABAMA. Technology is crazy to me.

Outside of having to pay 300$ in fees and fines (thank you, South African airways.. be expecting a letter from me soon..), my journey home was great. After the Alabanza team and I prayed EARNESTLY that I'd have either great seat partners or NO seat partners, I spent my first 2 flights (a 10 hour and a 9 hour) with the seats next to me empty.

No doubt in my mind that God answers prayer. I stretched out, kicked back.. it was wonderful!

It was certainly sad to leave my friends in South Africa, but I have overwhelming peace knowing that this season of life was over. I'm prepared for a seamless transition back to life here, with a greater understanding of who I am and what my purpose is. Along with the Lord, I have many of you to thank for that.
To those of you that invested in this journey, through encouragement, prayer, or financial support, I am forever indebted to you (I know this whole 'thank you' spill is getting old.. but you'll have to get past that.. because I am VERY thankful for you and.. ill probably never get over it).

.. You NEED to see how far your support went (and is still going..). so stay tuned.. I have many pictures and many more stories to tell... but for now, its sleep and a hot shower.. hallelujah.
