If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
~ Proverbs 24:10
God gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might the Lord increases strength.
~ Isaiah 40:29
Today I rely on the Lord's strength, and not my own. I don't have it in me to adequately say goodbye to all whom I'm leaving behind. I don't have enough time today to get all the things I wish to get done. I struggle to find the joy in a year of service in Africa, when all I see is this day of departure. I feel entirely inadequate to serve. And yet this is good. These feelings of despair and angst only lead me to fall in the arms of God, to trust in the unseen, to have faith amidst uncertainty.
Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. Have a blessed day, as I am having.

Dear Evans:
I wish you God's peace and grace as you embark on this amazing journey. You will enrich the lives of many people and in turn I hope you will be enriched as well. Know that everyone at Westminster will be on this journey with you.
