I'm a little nervous about our trip. Not only because we are traveling with such a large group, but because this is all new to me. I've never been to NYC, and the unknown always makes me uneasy. Of course my excitement for the things God has in store is greater than any fear or nervousness I have. While we're there, not only will be helping other but we get to do some pretty cool stuff too. We will be visiting the Statue of Liberty/ Ellis Island, Empire State Building, taking a walking tour of China Town, Ground Zero, and Wall Street. We also get to see a Broadway show. Some of the group is going to see Phantom of the Opera and the others are seeing Mary Poppins. I'm in the group seeing Phantom, but I am sure both will be exceptional.
I'll blog all about the trip when I get home, but until then please join me in praying for the following things:
- Safety of our team
- Patience, quick thinking, wisdom, and guidance for our leaders
- That the students/ adults going will truly allow God to use us as His hands and feet
- That our adults will be able to build lasting relationships with our students & students with each other
- We are able to get as much for the people we meet as they will hopefully get from us
- All going will keep a servants heart and that there is a little shock factor with the things we do.
I'm off to finish packing only 8 hours until I have to be at the church, but before I sign off I need to shout out a big Happy Birthday to my nephew Hagen. The little guy is turning 6 tomorrow and I won't get to celebrate with him! I know he will have a great day in Dallas with the fam!
Happy Birthday Hago! I love you!
