Oh that my heart would be ready. Ready to listen, to learn and to love.
this has got to be one of my top prayer requests
Thank you for reading this, for being involved, for caring about this journey God has me on. May God bless you.
Here are two prayer requests for today.
My Team
There are nine of us girls on the VisionTeam, hailing from all over the USA. Although I haven't met them yet, I've been praying for each of them - that God would unify our team even now. A myriad of personalities, expectations and backgrounds will merge for six weeks. Pray that we use our differences to encourage each other.
Financial Support
The total of funds needed for the trip itself is $4,200 (almost halfway there, Praise the Lord!). This includes travel and all trip expenses while I'm in Nepal - it's crazy the cost of airfare these days. :P My dad has always told me "money is no object with God," so I'm trusting that He will bring in the funds. It's incredible to me to see the body of Christ come alongside of me in this way. If you would like to be involved in this way, please visit the sidebar for a link to my Campaign Page.
--------
I'm not sure what to expect exactly, but I want to love like Jesus; listen to His voice speak to my heart. How does one prepare for a trip overseas? How have you prepared? Not just your bags and travel details, but your heart. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
A few Living Words that come to mind ...
ReplyDelete"And God said, Ask what I shall give thee. ... And Solomon said ... Give therefore Thy servant an understanding (margin: hearing) heart ..." -- 1 Kings 3. Read the whole chapter. =)
"The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, saith the Lord of hosts." Haggai 2:8.
"My God SHALL supply ALL your need according to HIS RICHES in glory by CHRIST JESUS." Philippians 4:19.
"... be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind ... Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:2-5.
love from
your sister in Christ,
