Wow...I can't believe that a life dream of mine is coming to fruition. I am happy proud ECSTATIC to announce that I am going on a Mission Trip to Kenya in June! Oh my word!!! I have been blessed to be accepted as a member of "Team Kenya June '09 Trip" (better name TBD).
Right now I am living on the high of knowing that I am going on an amazing trip, literally on the other side of the globe. Amazing!
I do know that I will struggle from time to time with the same fact that I will be on the other side of the globe. Oh yeah...did I forget to mention that I'm going alone? By alone, of course, I mean without Scott. I am still shocked by my sense of adventure here because I would never have thought that I would ever do this alone, but I am trusting God that he will replace my anxious thoughts with peace.
I would love for you to pray with me through this journey. The verse for our team is this:
Ephesians 2:10- "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in
them."
If you would, please pray that this verse will stay in the forefront of my thoughts, and be the foundation of my heart during these next few months as I prepare to leave and then as I venture off into the mission field.
Also, I am going to have to raise $3500+ dollars in support to be able to finance my trip. Please pray that I will receive money from those who desire to further God's Kingdom. Please pray that those who do give won't do so out of a sense of guilt or expectation, but rather that they will give out of a sense of purpose and a sense of awe in all of the amazing things to come in Kenya.
Wow! I'm excited! If you'd like to know more about the trip please visit http://www.410bridge.org/ . There are amazing things in store!
