It's hard to believe that just a few short months ago he was asked to join this mission trip and yet today is the day he's getting in the airplane. We are super excited for what God has in store for him and how God is going to use him and this amazing team in India. This is such a new season in our lives I'm not 100% sure how I am supposed to feel...this is probably why I am awake at 5 am...
The bags are packed with all we can think he will need over the next 10 days. The car is loaded and ready to go, but we are thankful for a few more hours of family time this morning because man we are going to miss him so very much.
I know there are lots of prayers being said this morning and throughout today for this team and all the beautiful people in India and on their flights that they will bump elbows with. We are praying today for smooth travels that God will pave their way, praying that when they arrive in Dubai tomorrow all their luggage will be there, that customs and security will go well. That they will all get rest, that jet lag will be minimal if at all as it could be brutal from such long flights, that they will be able to stretch their legs and won't feel too antsy. Pray also that everything works out for the leader of this trip to make it there by Friday, that everything will work out according to Gods will. That if for some reason he doesnt make it that those responsibilities will fall evenly, lightly over those that can and are willing to lead, let them have peace and know that God's got this and he will equip them accordingly.
Pray for the families as they say goodbye to their loved ones and either this morning before work or at the airport, pray for the transition for those with young children, that life can be just distracting enough but that God will burden our hearts accordingly to pray for them as they need it. Pray that all things work out to communicate with their loved ones because although it will be difficult for those on the home front it will also be difficult for those on mission. Praying for strength and peace for all, because we know that God has great and powerful things ahead for this team.
I'll do my best to update you this week about how the trip is going, give you a glimpse of the things God is doing through these workers, and how he is working here at home. I'll also update you on prayer requests :) thanks friends many many blessings to all of you. May you follow the nudging and calling that God lays upon your heart no matter how scary or uncertain, because there is some beautiful miracles and blessings that come from that faithfulness and obedience.
