Two weeks left

Tomorrow marks two weeks until I board the plane bound for Niamey, Niger. It seems so surreal. But, I have lots to do, pack, and lots of people to whom I must say goodbye. These two weeks will be challenging, but I am thankful for the opportunity to spend this time treasuring the ones I love. Basically I am spending one week with my Grandma, Aunt & Uncle and cousins, going surfing with some of my best friends, spending a few days in Okeechobee and then almost a week in Fort Myers with my people there. Somewhere in there I have to pack, buy a few last minute items, and go. God has been so good during this time of preparation giving me encouragement through all my prayer partners. I can honestly say that without this awesome support through prayer I would not have been able to take everything so easily. He is constantly giving me the energy I need. "I will not forget you, you are my God, My king, with a grateful heart I give my offering. But my sacrifice is not what you can give, its what I can give to you.. A grateful heart give, a thankful prayer I pray, a wild dance I dance before you. A loud I sing, a huge bell I ring, a life of praise I live before you!" In Him, Danielle
