Well last night I returned from college orientation for the fall of 2010 and realized it is only 9 days until I leave for Zambia. It is absolutely insane realizing it is that soon. And then realizing how unprepared I feel. I know that God has heard all of my teams and my prayers, and now it is about trusting his control over each of our lives and over our time in ministry in Zambia. I am so excited to be there I can hardly stand it. But there is definitely a lot of fear and anxiety I am daily giving the Lord and searching for his peace and a patient heart. I am praying I won`t feel tossed into the water but rather will be prepared to take this swim in my life, into the travels and ministry and serving in Zambia. Pray that my heart would be broken for service and grace to these people. For each of my team memebers: Kellen, Amy, JA, Aaron, Amy, Kate, Larissa, Steph, for the people of the CURE hospital in Lusaka, and for the hearts of those we will serve in the village. Pray we would all be unified by the message and truth of the Gospel and that we would be protected from spiritual and physical distractions.
Right now I am in the process of packing. I returned this weekend with two giant bags full of supplies from my church in Blacksburg, THANK YOU beautiful women of Jesus! How blessed I am and those in Zambia will be! Now I am just working on getting everything into suitcases....
Please keep praying for my heart and mind to be prepared as well as my teams. I am grateful for each and every one of you. You can`t even imagine how much God is using your prayers. And how much he has ahead in Zambia because of your prayers.
