Preparing to leave for the race has proved to be a whole lot more challenging than I had originally thought it would be. There are many things to do and be a part of before leaving and those emotions are a flown ya’ll!! One minute I am edited beyond belief and then the next minute I am freaking out for not knowing any Hindi….or because I might get Malaria…or you name it….truth be told, you can not prepare for every possible scenario. All I can do is pray and then prepare to the best of my abilities and then go! I trust the Lord and I know that He will provide where there is lack and I will learn even more about trusting Him in the next year than I had ever thought possible. So tonight is Christmas Eve and on the 26th I will start to pack, unpack, and repack and repeat. It took me a week to really pack for camp so who knows how long this will take (hopefully packing for camp taught me what to d land what not to do).
This coming Sunday is my last Sunday singing with the choir at my church and I try not to think about it too much or I will end up in tears…the people that make up the worship arts ministry at my church mean a great deal to me and I love them so much. ( blog on that coming soon!)
Then the Sunday after this one coming up will be my last Sunday!! The congregation will be praying over me and I get to sing with the praise team one last time before my journey begins. Please keep me and my squad in your prayers as we say our last few goodbyes and pack up our little lives here in the states. Pray for our families as they let go of their babies to go to the nations!! And please pray for the nations we will be traveling to and for those we will encounter on our journey.
and….Merry Christmas!!!!
