The reality is finally sinking in and the nerves are going a little crazy. I am so nervous my tummy feels like it's turning on me. (At-least I hope it is nerves not anything else)! But I know that God has a plan for me and He will be watching over me on this journey. He is my traveling companion on this long long day of flying half way around the World!
As I am sitting here I think of something that I read recently that I would love to share with all of you. How is your prayer life? Did you know that above all else God wants you talk to him and thinks of you as His bride? Although I am going on a mission trip to spread His word, it is important that above all else I go to Him and tell Him all my deepest thoughts. So here's the analogy...... prayer is like gas, and mission work is like driving. You need gas to drive. Without out the gas your car will stall out. So in order for my mission work to truly be effective, I need to grow closer to God. Even more than I have ever been. All this in prayer!
So, I think I am going to go talk to God before I head off. Catch you all on the flip side. What does that even mean anyway?

Woohoo!!! Well, how was it? Hope your airport experiences in Seoul and Manila were better than San Fran. By my clock calculations you should be in Manila now. Waiting to hear. Love you bunches!

ReplyDeleteAwesome dude! You're really doing it! Livin large! Jules Verne's got nothing on you. You went halfway around the world in one day. You could rest for 78 days and still beat him. Watch how God will bless you, reveal himself to you, and show you his amazing power because you were obedient and stepped out in faith. You're living Matt 28:18-20 right now.
