First step

there is something i have wanted to do for the past 3 years. i have been holding out...waiting for the right timing, which happened to be this week. i finally got the tattoo on the top of my foot that i have been wanting to get for a while. it's an outline of africa and the bible verse habakkuk 1:5, which just happens to be the title verse of this blog. it may seem strange that i got the shape of africa when i am getting ready to go to china, so i feel that an explanation is in order.

china is just the next step to my ultimate calling and dream...to live in ethiopia reaching out to and ministering to the abused, broken, and hurting, street children. but china is a big step in this direction. so i decided that now, before i leave, is teh right time to get this passion permanently engraved on my foot. to remind me that He is calling me to move...to go.

a good way to end my 5 years in northwest arkansas. and a good way to begin the next part of this incredible journey that He is taking me on.
