14 hours left


I'm sitting in my parents house, wrapping up a few things.  I was doing really well until I said goodbye to my dad, then he teared up, so I teared up, and I haven't stopped yet!
I can't believe the day is tomorrow!  In 14 hours I will be boarding my flight!
There is still so much to do!  Yes, I am packed, but I need to even out my luggage weight!  Thanks to the many generous people at church, home, and elsewhere, I am taking over 60lbs of supplies for the village with me!  How exciting!
I am also taking 200 letters, one to each child at the Village of hope!  Personal, hand written (or thought out) letters!  It's incredible!
I have a lot to do, so I don't want to spend my time on the computer, but I did want to ask for a few prayer requests:
1.  I have a rash on my hand.  I'm hoping that it is stress related, since it got worse today, but I pray that it goes away so that I don't have to worry about infection, or the pain of hand sanitizer in little cuts.
2.  My goodbyes.  It's going to be tough!  I would love some prayers!
3.  Prayers for the peace and knowledge that God provides, in ALL things, God provides.
4.  Pray for travel anxieties.  That my flights go well, I make it to the airport on time, and someone from the village is there to pick me up, but also that I see them and connect quickly.
5.  General anxieties for my family.  As I don't really have a lot of information to give them, I am now realizing how stressful that is on them as well.
The list could go on and on, but I think it all comes down to prayers for peace and for healing.

Thanks everyone!
