Hello everyone :) Sorry its been forever but I've been a busy bee- I got a new job..and a new roommate :). Things have finally begun to calm down as I settle in at work which means I can really start thinking about India! In 12 days I will be on my way and I cannot believe it! As a team, I know we are all so ready to get over there and hug kids, meet the people, and eat pb and j's every day :)
With that said, over the next 12 days I'm going to need some prayer, for a few things...
1. focused prayer time- it's really easy to get distracted during the times we most need to be focused and intentional about our time with the Lord. So pray that my time (and my team members time) with God will be protected and intentional each day...I want to arrive in Asia FULL of God so I can pour, pour and then pour some more.
2. safety safety safety- God is in control. period. I trust our team will be protected all the way there and back....but you can still pray for that!
3. team unity- Jesus wants to do a lot through us in India, which means us all working together is really really necessary.Pray that we encourage one another, pray for one another, not get offended, or complain, or worry about what other people think and are doing.
4. I dont have a title for this one but its the biggest one for me I think- pray that I will do nothing apart from what I hear and see Jesus do. I don't want to get caught up in doing something just because I see other people doing it and then miss what Jesus wanted me to do in that moment. For example, just because some people in my group are playing with some kids doesnt mean I should right then. There are specific things I'm called to do over there but I'll miss it if I feel like I need to follow everyone else...does that make sense? I hope so :)
5. against jet lag! pray for our bodies- I know that God supplies all my needs- physical, emotional etc...even though we'll be on a plane for 21 hours, yes like a whole day, Jesus is Lord and we can still have energy and excitement and patience and no grumpiness.....
6. our leaders- pray for them to have wisdom strength guidance in abundance!
7. pray for India! Jesus loves them and created them- they are his children they just dont all know it yet :)
Thats it for now....I really appreciate all of your prayers and support!
oh. ps. this is the weather currently for India- its 2:30 am and 88 degrees- just look at this- pray for us.
