Well, the Lord provides!! I am here in Sweden!! It has been a long process, but the Lord has taught me so much about my nature, trusting him, and so much more. I am sure I will reveal some of those things eventually through this blog...
I have been in Sweden 6 days now and I am loving it!! My teammates are so some of the most kind and beautiful people I have even met. I am blessed to live life with them and excited to see what God has in store for our ministry here. I will update in a few days about my life and ministry here in Uppsala, but for now here is an entry that I wrote on my long journey to Sweden:
25.2.09
Well, I'm sitting in Munich by myself, waiting to board the plane for Sweden. I can't believe that I will be living there for the next little bit of my life. It hasn't hit me yet and I still have not cried. I said goodbye in Chicago and I am on my own until my team picks me up in Stockholm. It is by the grace of God that I haven't freaked out yet!! I'm strangely calm, freakishly calm--like I was made to travel the world. This just feels normal, not liberating or overwhelming, just like I do this on a daily basis. The plane ride to Germany was L-O-N-G, but I did sit beside an US olympic wrestler! No joke. He won 6th place in Sydney. Welcome to my crazy life.
Boarding the plane to Chicago was TERRIBLE! My carry on took half the half the room of the plane. The sweet man who sat beside me helped me place my heavy backpack in the overhead and how did I repay him? My HUGE purse slid down my shoulder and hit him right in the crotch! Yes, this is why my friends joke about me being "The American Bridget Jones."
