In 2 1/2 hours, I will be leaving for the airport.
Yes, that's right--I have to be at the airport at 3:45 in the MORNING!! I don't think anyone should ever have to be anywhere at that time. Ever. BUT, I am so excited.
Why, you ask?
Because I have been waiting for this day for so long. To get on a plane, leave this country, and go do some good. Or, rather, let God use me, hopefully more than I can imagine. Today has been a rough day. You women out there know--there are those days when you just cry. And cry. And cry. I cried a lot today, but by the grace of God, I have a peace that I haven't felt about this trip yet. I feel so unqualified to go try to love women and children who are abused by the people that are supposed to love them. I don't even speak their language...what can I, Jenny Robinson, possibly do?
Nothing.
But, looking back, 2 months from now, I will see the incredible works that God did during these next 9 weeks. This is what I have been waiting for and praying about for four years.

For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar--the LORD Almighty is his name.
I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand--I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who says to Zion, 'You are my people.'
This is the God that is with me as I leave today, and this is the God that will be with me for the rest of my life, leading me deeper and deeper into His will for this world.
It is our job to bring heaven to earth.
We'd better get started.
