5 weeks...

Only 5 weeks until I leave for the Philippines.  The summer has flown by and I can't believe it is almost September.  Welcome Week has started on SBU's campus and Bolivar is flooded with college students again.  It feels so strange to not be a part of it all.  I have so many mixed emotions, but feel thankful for the time of rest I am having.  Here are some ways you can be praying for me...
1.  Pray for me as I continue to transition away from SBU and being a Resident Director.
2.  Pray for me as I begin the process of saying goodbye to friends and family.
3.  Pray for my flight. (this may sound silly, but I would love an aisle seat it makes 15 hours on a plane
     much easier to endure.)
4.  Pray for the Philippines: the people and places I will encounter.
5.  Pray for financial support.  I still need approx. $1000

I'll be posting more specific prayers requests in the next few weeks.  I am so appreciative of your prayers and support.  I'll leave you with a song I've had on repeat a lot lately...

Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven
Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever

Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains

I belong, I belong to you

Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow
Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise
