Mission trip planning is about to start and I'm reallyy excited. To be honest, part of me still can't quite come to grips with everything that has happened in the last few months. God really is so amazing isn't he?
So the itinerary for the trip is slowly coming together (for the first half of the trip anyway) and we're about to start putting together our music program which I'm really looking forward to being a part of. It kind of feels like deja vu because Dave and I probably have the most 'experience' with music programs on mission trips and we happen to know exactly the same things like: Thorns, Shout to the Lord, We were the reason and Choices (although i don't think we'll be doing any dramas). Turns out that BWMC trained dave's church for missions. All these connections are slowly freaking me out. Anyway, looks like I just can't escape from those songs =) I will forever love Thorns though. I think I must have sang it about 100 times now and heard it 100 more times but the words are so powerful and it challenges me in my own walk with God everytime i hear it or sing it.
This is probably going to be the smallest mission team I have ever been on so I guess it a challenge for me to really step out in faith and not hide in the shadow of more experienced/talented people. It's such a humbling experience though to be a part of such a gifted and passionate team of ppl.
In terms of the second half of the trip which is all to do with medical work in particular with HIV/AIDS and TB patients, I'm still not too sure what I'll be doing there. My only instructions have been to look at the medicine supply issue and I guess, with the Greatest Physician on my side and with the power of prayer maybe I'll be able to help patients more =)
Anyway, I think I have said it before but I'll say it again and I will be continuing to say it: i need YOUR prayers. Don't underestimate the power of prayer guys. Don't wish me goodluck, don't wish me all the best..PRAY. Pray not just about this trip but I ask that you pray that God will continue to reveal to me his plans for my future and i am almost certain this trip is going to turn my entire future upside down *nervously pulls my hair*. SO yes...do pray for me. It will mean everything to me =)
Alright, update on photos of birthdays and stuff tomorrow probably =)
God bless!
