Wow! We're at the end of 2007 and heading into 2008. I wonder what glorious things God will do in our lives this year. If we pay attention and don't get too busy with the cares of life, He might just show us some pretty amazing things. As for me, I'll be going on my 2nd missionary trip to Tanzania in June 2008. Can you believe it? Afrika. My Afrika. The place of my childhood dreams.

A note of encouragement to all you dreamers out there: don't give up on your dreams. If they're God-given, they will come to pass. I waited all my life to go to Afrika, and often I thought it would never happen. But God had a plan for me to go, so I did, and I'm going again! Don't give up your dreams. Who knows? In 2008 God may call you to another country as a missionary, too. Or He may have other amazing plans for you. I pray that you'll listen as He speaks to you. Take the time to hear Him...then listen carefully.

Blessings to you in this New Year of 2008!
