A better pre-departure

Phew!  It’s only been four days since my last post but so much has changed that it feels like it’s been…at least weeks!  My Grandparents were able to come down this weekend to visit us before I left and that was really great.  My family prayed for me and that was really helpful, especially in assuaging my fears and anxieties about going.  That was Saturday night, and on Monday night the people in my Bible study prayed for me, and that was really great also.  So basically, I have been saturated in prayers from loved ones (which I know wasn’t only occurring Saturday and Monday—I know people have been praying for me from wherever they are, and that’s so cool, thank you) and it’s awesome. 

Today is (hopefully) the day that I get to cross a bunch of things off my recently made To-Do list. Hopefully.  It’s looking like it may not happen already, though, because “writing a blog entry” is not on the list, and it takes a pretty substantial amount of time to do…oh well, I think it’ll be ok…it’s my list, I can tweak it however I want!  Also, I didn’t want to leave on the note I left on in my last entry, especially because I feel so much better about the trip now!  So thank you to any and all who have been praying for me, it has been very, very much appreciated.

Things you could be praying for:

·         Focus to start packing (procrastination is a bad habit that I’m in, and “vacation” mentality is a hard mode to get out of!

·         Wisdom to know what to pack and what can be left behind

·         Time management so that it all gets done in the FOUR DAYS LEFT

·         My trip and experiences in general

Thank you all so much.

Love,
