I have been having such a hard time these past few weeks. From the moment I was accepted on this trip I have been struggling with feeling exhausted, worn out, overwhelmed, just so terribly terribly tired. Then I looked back at all my emails and application for the trip. What stood out was my excitement, my energy for doing God's work. Of course I would be attacked in this way, of course I would feel like all my energy is sucked out of my body from the moment I wake up. Working for God is a fierce fight, a constant battle. It's no joke that the bible uses battle metaphors often. It's clearer to me now that I need to prepare in more than physical ways. I need to pray not just for strength but protection, for closeness, for support and for hope. Please keep me in your prayers. I need you!
