Ready to Fly

 I am leaving today and after waking up at 3 am to make it to the airport at 4, I am so exhausted. The past few days have been a blur with packing, traveling, and saying goodbyes. I am so excited to start this journey and feeling confident. My gear is perfect and we got it all to fit into my bags which is amazing when you think about trying to pack for 6 months. 

I love the idea of what I’m doing but the experience is still yet to come and the anticipation and questions in my head about what’s next are loud. 

I am sad to leave some people behind but I know it will be worth it because “He is able to do more than we ever ask or imagine”.  I am leaving in faith instead of fear because of how I have seen God work to make this trip possible and how he has provided.

Think About This

 As memorial day passes and Father’s Day weekend approaches, I have been thinking a lot about the relationship between our heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus. I have been thinking about the way they would have communicated with one another through prayer while Jesus was here on earth.

 

Specifically, I have been wondering what the communication must have been like between His Death, Resurrection and The Ascension into heaven. I mean just imagine, seeing someone in person who you thought was dead for sure and is now alive. I wonder what those conversations must have been like between Jesus and ordinary people and what their faces must have looked like. Like how Jesus communicated what had just happened. I know that I don’t know the answers but I do know that prayer is effective!

 

Jesus gathered the people together before leaving and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” These words remain as true as when they were spoken then, as you are reading them now.

 

As I prepare to embark in this great commission to Mazatlan, Mexico I recognize the importance of prayer. I want to invite you all on Father’s Day to the Great Commissioning Service at Langston Baptist Church at 10:30 am. Even if you are not a member of Langston, attend a different church, or just don’t go to church; YOU ARE INVITED!

 

 Here is the address for your GPS: 763 Highway 905, Conway, SC 29526.
