Friday Night 9:10 pm

Today was our first day training for our trip.  The first breakout session we did was on our expectations we have for the next 10 days.  A verse that we read that really affected me and a lot others was 2 Corinthians 4:18 ; "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."  I really think this was an eye-opening verse reminding us that we shouldn't let fear or what we can see with our own eyes be the deciding factor of what we do on this missions trip.  Having faith by letting go of everything and letting God lead us in the direction He wants us to go is what we are called to do.  He can see farther then our own eyes can see, and we need to trust him and let Him be our guide. We sometimes have so many expectations and apprehensions that we forget that it's all in God's hands.  No matter what we are called to do or who we are called to minister to on this trip God has his hands on this trip and we need to follow His will.

I am so excited for what God is going to do on this trip, and how He is going to use it to change and mold us into the followers of His that He created us to be.  Please keep us in your prayers as we take this amazing journey!

Thank you!
