Ready, set, go!

Our Lifegroup members prayed for us in the church lobby

Send off day!

Well we just went to church and feel completely energized. There was a full choir leading in worship was exceptional, completely and totally God directed. One song was especially fitting as it talked about how ALL that we are comes from and belongs to God: we belong to Him and we go where He wants us to. What a great encouragement it was to have members from both our Lifegroups gather around and send us off with prayer. This is the spirit in which we depart today for South Africa. We are His servants.

Here is a short list of things to pray about:

• God's protection and traveling mercies, that somehow the trip would seem short to us, and that we would arrive full of energy without the effects of jet lag.
• For Josiah while we are away.  He is 18 and looking forward to this independent two weeks.  Pray for his protection (and that he not burn the house down :)
• That we would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, always looking for God's divine appointments and not worrying about fulfilling our own agenda.
• For wisdom,discernment, clarity of thought and God's specific leading in every situation.
