Bogota Bound

I will be getting picked up in less than 12 hours to head to the airport. The house is almost all cleaned, the bills are paid, the lawn is mowed, birthday and Father's Day cards are in the mail, laundry is done, pretty much all that I have left to do is pack and try to get some sleep tonight.

I would like to ask for prayers for safe travels tomorrow and good weather. Pray that we would all be open to do whatever it is that God wants us to do while we are there. I will try to update while I am there, but no promises.

Thank you again for all of your support, I can hardly wait to share my experience with you.

Three weeks

Three weeks from now I will be in Bogota. I only have to work 14 of those days...I feel like a kid counting down the days left of school. Everything seems to be falling into place. I seem to be getting less nervous and more excited as time draws near...I am pretty sure that is a good thing.

Thank you for your many prayers, they are greatly appreciated. I am confident that God is going to do great things in the lives of all affected by this trip and I can hardly wait to get to share some of the stories with you.

Tic Toc Tic Toc Five Weeks Left on the Clock

Five weeks from today I will be arriving in Bogota! All of the i's have been dotted and the t's have been crossed so for now all I have to do is wait. This seems easy, but when there isn't anything for me to do, I tend to allow my mind to worry about what may or may not happen. This week I would ask that you pray for me to stay focused on God and to be assured that this trip is in his hands.

Thank you for your prayers!

8 Weeks

"May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!"

From the moment I left Bogota nearly four years ago I have been praying for a chance to go back. In only 8 short weeks God is going to answer that prayer. He is going to grant me my heart's desire. This week I would ask that you pray for my heart to be open to whatever it is that God desires for me to do while in Columbia. Pray that I follow his will and desires, not my own.

Nine weeks

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8

Nine weeks from today I head to Columbia, just two days shy of being exactly four years since I went the first time. That four years has certainly went by fast. If four years can go by fast, I am sure that the next nine weeks will be gone before I know it. While I am not nearly as nervous about going this time, I still have a little bit of fear holding on. This week my prayer request would be that I let go and let God and that I would surrender any fears to him. Also, that I would have confidence in being his witness, not just in Columbia, but everyday as I allow him to live through me.

Why the blog?

In June of 2010 I will be heading to Bogota, Columbia on a missions trip for ten days. I know that I have a lot of people praying for me as I prepare for and go on this journey. I thought that having a blog would allow me to share with everyone how things are going at different stages of this adventure.

Where the blog will go after that I am not sure, I guess I will have to wait and see. Thanks for stopping in and checking this out.
