The start of a journey begins with a step. Or perhaps it simply begins with a decision to follow the call placed on your heart by God. Today after months of anticipation and planing, we are on our way. We began this morning, meeting at church where after balancing out our suitcase load, we had a time of devotion sweetly stepping into the presence of God. The central theme was recognizing Him as "The Lord is". He is faithful, loving, capable, mighty, and wonderful. If you asked a crowd of people who He is, the attributes would be endless. After a time of communion and our church family sending us off covered in prayer, we boarded our bus to Dulles International. There began the awesome favor of God. "The Lord provides". He provided peace to our loved ones at home who some of which have tremendous weight to bear in our absences. He provided a huge bus which provided for a comfortable trip. He provided safety on the roads. He provided ease with our luggage check in. And where we worried over the poundage, He said, 'My child, I've got this". He provided for a sound system to be accepted for cargo and at half the anticipated cost. Praise Him! He provided ease of checking and no lines through security check in. Well except for confiscated "Jiffy", sorry Ms Sharry. Amazing how He has already provided. He has gone above what we could ever imagine already for which He has provided in the preparation and for MIS and the Village of Babak. Praise HIM! Sorry I did not get this posted before we boarded our flight. I admit I was one who fretted over the luggage weight staying up late, and by the time we arrived at the airport. Well I was kind of mush brain. We are now in flight. Departure went off without any delays, dinner served and with any luck we will get some restful sleep. Hope to post when we arrive at Beacon Of Hope. "The Lord is," and it's going to be an amazing journey.
Good Morning from Senegal. The Lord has provided us with a safe flight. Everyone did well with traveling. All of our luggage arrived and we again had ease and abundant favor from The Lord. We are happily here at Beacon of Hope. It is wonderful to see our friends again. We've enjoyed breakfast and now are starting to settle in.
Prayer requests and praise:
Praise God for He is a mighty awesome God. He has every detail of this trip well within his grasp.
God would be glorified by EVERY aspect of our trip.
Each of us, as well as those whom meet, would have a personal and powerful encounter with God.
The unconditional love of God would radiate in and through each of our lives.
God would give us strength and good health through out the trip.
God would protect and provide for family members back home.
