Preparing to Leave

Tomorrow is Saturday. I have determined in my mind to spend a significant part of the day packing up and preparing my things for either storage or Africa. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it. I think I'll spend some time in prayer first...this job is going to take a lot and I'll need the Lord's help.
I don't like the idea of getting rid of my stuff. I don't own a whole lot but I have enough that it's too much to pack in a suitcase and take with me to Africa...how does a person get so much "stuff" in such a short amount of time...and it really isn't all that much stuff.
I think I'll find time to take a nap on Saturday. I'll probably be tired physically but even more emotionally. I wonder if I'll cry while I'm packing...I should probably write about it in my next blog entry, right? :)
I'll keep you posted.
