but as i start to check off items on the list, i am also trying to be intentional of what isn’t on my physical piece of papert but just as important to focus on daily as we get closer to leaving – prayer.
for me it is easy to get caught up in checking things off my list and “feeling” ready to leave, and i often forget that the best way to prepare for this trip, and for it to be that experience i am “expecting”, is to really fall back on the most powerful and impactful tool.
i told you i would keep you posted on ways to pray for our team, so here are a few quick ones if you have the time today:
please pray for our team’s safety while we are there and for us to be prepared for everything we will experience - the culture shock, the poverty, the orphans, the death, the stress of travel and to fully experience and engage with the joyful little girls we will meet
jill and brad – karis, their sweet baby girl, is about four months old, and they will be leaving her for the first time for our trip.
carol – fundraising and support as the financial deadline approaches
sonna - she has six kiddos and is also a teacher. she has a lot to do in preparing to leave with lesson plans at school and leaving her hubby home along with them for 8 days
for those of you checking in on the blog (whether you got sucked in a while ago with my newlywed tales or picked up the blog when I sent it to you about the trip) i am so thankful for your friendship and support. thank you for the role you play in my life and for challenging and loving me in so many ways.
