It's been awhile, I'm sorry. But, I have been a little busy seeing as I leave in 1 day!! WOOO HOO!!!

Those of you following my blog know that I'm heading to Russia to work at an orphanage. I'm all packed - except for the few things I'll be needing to get ready for work tomorrow and then the day of the flight.

Wow- can't believe it's finally here. After many years of having the desire to go - it's just around the corner. Actually- it's more like I'm in the home stretch - I can see it.

Since I'll be out, I won't have access to a computer, but I did pack several journals that I plan on filling up. When I get back I'll write out a few of the journal entries and post pictures. I plan on taking up my entire camera's memory with pictures - probably won't post them all - but I plan on capturing every moment.

Ways to pray:

• Safe travel (my first international flight)
• Sleep - when I'm able to sleep - to be multiplied so that I will be completely theirs while I'm there and not tired from jet lag, or exhaustion.
• For God to be very clear about whether or not I'm needed in Russia full time, and if not there than to reveal where he wants me to go next.
• For the kids - to be open to Jesus and God's love, and for us American's not wanting to "close the deal" and pressure them into a relationship with Him. It goes against everything in most Americans who want to get in, tell them about Jesus and then the have them sign on the dotted line. Sometimes, we just have to plant the seed and not get to see the fruit and we have to be ok with that.
• That all on the time - all personality types would be able to work as one team.
• For my mom - she's so worried about me going. What I ask you to pray for her about is a peace that I'm going to be ok - no matter what.
• And above all - anyway the spirit leads you to pray - pray!!

I love all my blogging friends and will miss you while I'm gone. This will probably be the last post before I get back - talk to you soon!
