Day 1 It's Go Time

Months of praying, months of waiting and months of stalking my email, my mailbox, and my phone are finally about to be put behind us. In a few short hours we will begin our journey to the other side of the world to meet a little girl who has little to no idea of what is about to happen. For all the waiting we have endured and all the anticipation this precious little girl is about to have her life disrupted in a major way. We covet your prayers that God continues to prepare her heart to receive the overflowing love we have to provide her. So as we are about to embark on this journey, I want to share the words of one of our kid's youth pastor. Brian Bennett wrote the following based on the book 'Just Courage'.

"It is a journey we don't have control over. We give control to Christ before we head out, and we give it over to Him again every day. It is a journey that requires deep trust to allow Him to reshape us along the way, trusting that He knows what is best. It is a journey of risk. We risk to forgive, risk to love, risk to see the world around us transformed by God's hope and love. God is calling each of us to go with Him on a journey from the visitor center to the top of the mountain. It's a journey we will never forget and whose beauty we can never imagine. God's promise to us is simple: I will be with you. I will never leave you or abandon you. As you exercise your strength, I will give you more. As you pour out your love, I will refill you. As you trust me, I will deepen our relationship."

It's Go Time!
