Mark 8:34-37

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but who ever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?"

So much to do, so little time!

20 days and counting......down!

I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Before you know it I will be on a plane, beginning my long journey to the Philippines.

I freaked out a little today as I thought about all the things I have to do before I go. I'm a list person.......
  •  I found somebody to take over my rent, so I have to pack up all my things and move it into storage before I leave. Ahhhhhhhh I hate moving!
  • I'm going to type out my testimonial to share with people while I'm on the island. There will actually be three high school youth groups visiting the island while I'm there. They are visiting from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Taejon, Korea. I've been asked to share my walk with Christ with these groups in a unique way! (Maybe when I'm done I will post it on here.)
  • I need to prepare Bible lessons for kids (I already know what I want to teach, but I need to get more organized!)
  • I need to find a really good Bible study book and pick out some studies to share with some of the adults on the island.
  • I studied Health and Exercise Science, so I want to teach the kids some good games to keep them physically active. So I need to go through the rolodex in my head to bring up some games I learned while working with elementary kids here in Fort Collins!
  • I want to buy a nice camera with my tax return so I can come home with amazing pictures of my trip. I will be able to blow up some high quality pictures and hopefully get many of you copies to display in your homes! So I will have to go camera shopping, oh, and learn how to use the dang thing too!
  • Most importantly, pack for the trip. What to bring?
The sticky thing about there only being 20 days left is........ Valentine's week. We do 5 days of Valentine's at the Melting Pot. So, work work work until I leave! Hopefully my parents will be coming the last few days before I leave. If that is the case, both their birthdays' are the 17th and a little celebration is called for. My pa turns 50, that's a big one!!!!! Not too mention, there are soooo many people I would like to spend some time with before I am off. What if I decide not to come back ;-)

I pray I can use what little remaining time I have very wisely! My only hope is I won't get stressed out, because stress just takes up too much time!!!!!
