"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you wil carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains for defending the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer; that your love may abound more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of the righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ- to the glory and praise of God."
-Philippians 1:3-11
Hello everyone! I hope all of you have had a blessed holiday season and new year. I can honestly say this has been one of the most enjoyable and blessed holiday season's ever. I am excited for what God is going to do in 2010. I am done with school, headed to Jordan, and getting married. Could 2010 start off any better than that?
Well...I am getting closer and closer to departure to Amman, Jordan. I am officially leaving January 21 out of Cleveland, OH. So, mark your calendars because it is coming soon. I am still in the process of fund raising and getting belongings and what nots ready before the big day.
If you are still interested in giving toward this mission, I would certainly appreciate it. When saying "support", yes, a part of that does mean financial. With that, I would like to invite you to commit to praying before, during, and after the trip. You can read my blog often as I will be constantly putting updates up from the field.
All of you are constantly in my prayers and I am grateful that I have all of you in my life to share in this experience. As I think about me going, and you sending, I am reminded of the Apostle Paul from his letter to the Philippians as I put at the beginning of the blog. I pray for you and that God would continue to encourage you and help you see the story of God lived out everyday. As I travel away, all of you are going with me and will be in the midst of every action because you have helped me get there.
Thank you all so much for your support. Grace and Peace.
