In less than two weeks I begin my journey to the Cote d'Ivoire. May 26 is the start of a five day training period that will prepare us interns for what lies ahead. I'm nervous, excited, eager, scared, anxious, and ready to see what God is going to do there. I know He will use His people to break me. I hope and pray that i can be a reflection of Christ to anyone I come into contact with. Time has flown by and soon i will have to leave behind family, friends, a girlfriend, and most of all the comfort of a small middle-American town. These things can never be replaced and I will truly miss them. I know God has more family and friends waiting to meet me when i get off the plane. They may not look like me or talk like me but they will be my new brothers and sisters.... God is good my friends.

Cole, I am SO proud of you. Proud of the man you are becoming and proud of the heart you are developing.
ReplyDeleteMay your time in Africa, a continent so rich with life, be transformational. May you walk with intentional and careful steps each day. May your eyes be open to see new colors, your hands open to feel new textures, your ears open to new sounds and your nose...well enjoy the new smells. ;)
I am going to set a reminder on my calendar to pray for you each week. Thank you for letting many of us travel with you through your stories.
Know our family loves you and how proud this s'ketti sunday momma is of you!
