Today is my niece's birthday and my cousin's birthday. Yesterday was my sister-in-law's birthday. It occurred to me that I would be celebrating my next one in South Africa if all goes according to plan. Holy cow. I'll have to have Jess make me a cheesecake before I go.
It's occurred to me several times over the past couple months that I'm about to embark on a part of the journey called my life like none other I've experienced. I'm moving to Africa. Totally different culture, languages, understandings. Craziness.
I was thinking about going to Colombia to work with some of the churches - what I would take, what I wouldn't. I would take my camera. Wouldn't take Tiffany's (although it seems so sad to leave it here to tarnish in the box). Would take my laptop. Wouldn't take leather.
Funny, the things you think of when making a life change ... like the fact that I'll have to find a laundry detergent that doesn't make me sick when I smell it.
