In 12 hours I'll be landing in the JFK airport to start off my 5.5 hour layover before taking off towards Ghana! I can't believe the time is already here. It seems so surreal. This past Sunday, Mother's Day, I was able to say goodbye to my extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.). My mom even made me an awesome cake! Check it out! :)
Over the last couple days I've managed to get my bags packed. One bag to check in (weighing 41.5 lbs), a carry-on, and a "purse." My "purse" just happens to be big enough to carry my netbook along with several of my textbooks for the semester! Several of my friends and family have also contributed to my packing by telling me their favorite scripture verses to write on index cards and disperse throughout my luggage. I figure this serves two purposes. First, it is encouragement for me as I find these cards throughout my time in Ghana. Second, if my luggage is inspected then the individual doing the search will see the scriptures. You never know what God can do through His Word!
As I've mentioned before, I plan on blogging while I'm there. Hopefully, I'll get this opportunity approximately every other day, but this will depend on where we are, what time I have, and whether or not I have an internet connection.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for safe travels tomorrow.
- Pray that the Lord would grant each of us an overwhelming peace knowing that we go in obedience to His calling.
Thanks again for your support. If you have any questions, comments, or requests while I'm away, please feel free to leave a comment. Not sure how well I'll be able to answer, but I would love to know what you're interested in hearing about!
God bless!
