What am I excited about?

All I have been thinking about the last few days is just how excited I am that God is giving me the opportunity to return to Senegal to serve Him. Here is a fun list I made:

Excited about......................Not so excited about
being with "my family".............missing my real family
dancing with the ladies.............bargaining for everything
worshipping with "the guys"........ironing my clothes (worms)
eating ceebu jenn..................bleaching fruits & veggies
drinking ataaya.....................sand everywhere
serving with Lisa....................sticking out like a sore thumb
being around content people.......constant marriage proposals
yummy fruit, especially mangoes..forever smelling like bugspray
being a doctor (in their eyes)......being fondled by women
simplicity of life.....................such spiritual darkness
sharing our Lord's salvation.........Islamic calls to prayer
special trips to get ice cream......taking anti-d meds like candy
sitting & chatting for hours........Islamic teaching nights
no humidity.........................missing diet coke & mexican
Lebou on-fire Christians...........topless, breastfeeding moms

I am most excited about what God is doing among the Lebou people. God's Word declares that all people and all nations will bow to Him one day, for HE IS GOD!

"Lord, you are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble. Nations from around the world will come to you and say, 'Our ancestors were foolish, for they worshiped worthless idols. Can people make their own god? The gods they make are not real gods at all!' - 'So now I will show them my power and might,' says the Lord. 'At last they will know that I am the Lord.'" Jeremiah 16:19-21

"I have a plan for the whole earth, for my mighty power reaches throughout the world. The Lord almighty has spoken--who can change His plans? When His hand moves, who can stop Him?" Isaiah 14:26-27
