We leave in 20 days for Romania! We have a full day planned for next week to make signs, buy supplies and pack for the trip. It is a very fun time, and I am thankful for God allowing me to work with each one of these people.
I will be posting a prayer calendar. It will have a day by day schedule so those who are praying for us will have an idea of how to pray for us according to what we are doing.
Thank you to everyone for your support! Please be praying for us!
Blessings

A Prayer for the team....
A Prayer for the team...
I have been encouraging our mission team to be very prayerful during the planning of our mission trip about the role they will have on the team and in the lives of people we come in contact with. It is really exciting to see them so ready to go and ready to experience something new in their lives as a Believer.
During our time early in our preparation we have been working thru a short-term missions workbook. We read through Phil 2:6-11.... then turned it into a prayer for our team. I encouraged them to pray this Scripture over their lives in preparation for our mission trip.
Praying...
Lord Jesus, Thank you for working in my life. As I pray for our mission trip to Romania, I ask you to work in the hearts of our team mates and myself.
I pray for:
I praise You, Father, that it is You who works in me to will and act according to His good purpose.
Take captive my every thought, that I might do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that I may be blameless and pure, a child of God who is faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom You shine like the stars in the world.
Lord, May the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, guard my heart and mind in Jesus Christ!
Amen!

Lord Jesus, Thank you for working in my life. As I pray for our mission trip to Romania, I ask you to work in the hearts of our team mates and myself.
I pray for:
- encouragement in Christ, to be drawn to His Word, to choose to study the Word, for encouragement comes from Your Word.
- let love fill my heart and be the motivation for all I do
- to be united throught the Holy Spirit with my team mates
- to have a tender heart that is willing to hear first, listen and have compassion and mercy for others on my team and who I meet on the mision field
- fill our team with the joy that comes from being like-minded, having the same love of Christ
- our team to be one, operate as one in the Spirit and in purpose.
- to do nothing out of vain conceit, but in humility to consider others better than ourselves
- to look not to our own interests, but also to the interest of others
I praise You, Father, that it is You who works in me to will and act according to His good purpose.
Take captive my every thought, that I might do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that I may be blameless and pure, a child of God who is faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom You shine like the stars in the world.

What if...
Yesterday, while working through my Bible study by Beth Moore on the book of James she wrote this in the last paragraph of this particular day's study. I have written it out to remind myself how different my life is and can be when I believe His Word is true and He really is who He says He is.
What if...
Jeremiah 29:11
"'I know the plans I have for you', Declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.' "
What if...
- ...we understood down to the marrow of our bones that His is the only plan that really ends up prospering us?
- ...we really believe Jesus when He said that those who insist on finding their own lives will lose them and those who lose them for His sake will find them? Matthew 16:25
- ...we really believed that, if we seek God's Kingdom and His righteousness, everthing else of true value would be gien to us, too? Matthew 6:33
- ...we really believed that "He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything"? Romans 8:32
- ...we really believed that "godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come"? 1 Tim. 4:8
What if....we really believed that God is not only great, He IS Good?
