6 DAYS

Hello Friends and family! I am leaving in 6 DAYS! Crazy how time flys by so fast! I am half way packed and almost ready to go! I am feeling like it is all coming to reality for me. I am actually leaving. Things are getting packed, days pass by faster. I am feeling great about going. I feel like spiritually I am almost ready. I feel like I need to spend some solitude time with the Lord before I leave. Please pray that time will be provided without distractions. One thing that I read today that was really encouraging was 1 Corinthians 15: 10 "But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me and not without results. For I have worked harder than any other of the other apostles, yet it was not I but God who was working though me by his grace."

What really stuck out to me in this verse was whatever I am now. I have grown so much this past year with the Lord and sometimes I tend to forget how much God is working in my life. But I was really thinking about this today and God has provided so much for me and is continually doing that. God is working in my life for His glory. Sometimes I can get caught up in being in control of all aspects of my life. BUT these results or accomplishments in my life are not by what I have done or do but it is Gods glory and because GOD has poured his favor on me.

Some things I am going to be in continual prayer throughout this trip are:

Refinement on my call- Is my call in ministry?

Learn to be selfless. What does it really mean to deny oneself, give up your selfish ambition, carry your cross and follow Christ?

Please also pray for:

-Safety

-A building relationship with the Team I will be with

-God will use me where there is a need

-TESTS MY FINALS ARE WEDNESDAY!!!! Praise God I got them all scheduled before my flight. Please pray that I pass my HRM class!!!! I am barely passing... not even passing at the moment BUT LETS PRAY I DO!!!

-Younglife girls- I am just so blessed that God provided me these amazing girls this year. I truly feel like God is giving me them to focus on. Pray that they stay accountable and just nourishment on this trip to move forward to feed them the word.

- encouragement and motivation on the overall trip in general

- protection from the enemy and all his tactics and attacks.

- my health, I got sick yesterday!!!

I love you all thank you so much!
