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.
