6 Days Til Take-Off!

WOW! I will be headed to the Minneapolis airport bright and early on Thursday...THIS THURSDAY! This trip has been in the planning stage for such a long time that it is hard to believe that is so close.

I have been home in the Land O' Lakes for a few weeks. This time has given me time to rest and has rejuvenated me. We even had a few days of Bangkok-like weather...I am being prepared! During this time at home I got to spend time with my sister before she took off for Europe, go to my good friend's college graduation, babysit, spend some Q-T with the family and get used to a few new memory-documenting devices.

Soon I will have a whole new photo-folder on my computer and more importantly a whole new folder of experiences and new outlook on the world. There is so much that I am looking forward to: the heat, the food, THE PEOPLE, the culture shock, being out of my comfort zone, learning to love and live in a new way. But there is also so much that brings apprehension: the heat, the food, the culture shock, and being out of my comfort zone. Praise Him that I do not have to carry those worries and that I can go into this with JOY and PEACE knowing that the strongest shoulders want to take my cares.

These are all things for which you can pray... please! Also, with only 6 days until departure I am still in need of quite a bit of funds. It has come in steadily and faithfully thus far, so I am trusting that the rest will come in the same way, please join with me in praying it in!

My next post will come from the other side of the world! Til then...
