Needed: Headlamp, 90 Lumens preferred

I'm concerned. Nervous. Anxious.

Sometimes I get this overwhelming sense that I'm supposed to do something, or go somewhere, or follow this path, and I think, 'this must be God' because it's such a powerful feeling.

And I wait.  And then things go awry.  I just can't make sense of where I'm supposed to be headed.  I feel like I'm hiking up a mountain in the middle of the night, there's dim moonlight but not enough to see more than a foot ahead, I'm alone and it's quiet.  Panic. What if I lose my way?  What if I never get to the destination?  What if this whole time I've been moving in the wrong direction?  What If I didn't read the map correctly?

It's been two weeks since I decided to go to Uganda next summer, but I still haven't heard confirmation.    My next year really hinges on the fact that I'm going to Uganda.  I've built myself up for it.  I can't think of anything else that I want to do more.  I feel so sure I'm supposed to go, but what if I misread the plan? My heart will break.

As I'm praying through all of these nations on operationworld.org, I have only added to my list of all the places I want to serve.  I need to meet myself a nice Christian man who wants to be a missionary with me so I can just do this for the rest of my life.  Taking applications....
