Tired from the day's activities, I grab some fruit and step out onto the back porch to relieve myself of the stuffy house. The beautiful sun catches my eye as its slowly begins to set in the west. Tonight is beautiful, hot and slightly uncomfortable, but beautiful. As I watch the neighbor man play with his kids in the back yard, I hear one of my favorite sounds--the clock tower. It hits me...Time is running out! This world is coming to an end and there are still many who have no hope. There are many father's who don't care about their children and lots of kids who don't know their parents. What am I doing?
Originally that wasn't what I was going to think about when I stepped outside to catch some fresh air, but that's what He brought to my mind.
Tonight I am so grateful for my family. My father, mother, and six [almost seven] younger brothers. Who would I be without them to care for me?
My mind also goes to the journey in which I am about to embark. Tomorrow brings new experiences. The next three weeks will hold...well, what will they hold? This trip has been on my mind for the past couple months and I am very excited to see what all God will do in my life! It isn't a coincident that I am going to help lead a group of kids from station to station. He has a plan and I want to be willing to be who He wants me to be and do what He wants me to do!
I would appreciate your prayers as I go to LA. I am very excited but also a little nervous. I have to say that I haven't experienced something like this before.
[And if you think about it, pray for my family...they need prayers too! :) ]
Praying that this will be a special time for you and that you'll be a blessing to the children that you are ministering to. Have a wonderful 3 weeks!
