4 days before touch down in Zambia

Several people have been asking if I intend to blog during my time in Zambia this year. Can it really be a year since I first stepped foot on Zambian soil. Well yes it is, I stepped of the plane on the 13th June 2009 feeling anxious about what I would find. So different to how I'm feeling today - I know that I'm going back to met up with friends, the sense of excitement I have is palpable, I really can't believe that I've been so blessed to be allowed to return. God is amazing, he works in so many ways and although I often fight with him, he is ever gracious and allows me time to come to terms with what he wants me to do.
last year when I left Zambia I just wanted to come back immediately, now I know that its God's timing for me to return on Sunday. I came away from Zambia thinking I would be able to do so much, but I didn't allow for the reverse culture shock I experienced - I'd warned many people about it, but I hadn't appreciated just how long it would go on for and how it would affect me both physically and emotionally.
So here I am, half packed, half ready, but fully ready to go. Our God is a great big God and like the childrens song has me in his hand.
