God says go...

I’m going to Kenya again in literally a month and 4 day! During an email conversation with Tim Cypert in January, we discussed future trips that LOI was planning to take. He offered two sets of dates, one being March 10-20th and the other in June. Knowing that I could not go in June due to a previous commitment my only option was the March trip. Thinking that it wouldn’t work because of classes I kind of put it aside then decided I should check to see when spring break would be. To my surprise, spring break hit the dates perfectly! I emailed Tim and informed him that I was most definitely interested. From that point on, it was completely up to God to put the rest of the trip together. I knew that if I was going to go I had to have $1,750 to LOI by January 22. With God's help, I was able to make that deadline. I am still in process of raising the remainder of the amount which totals to $2,400 leaving me with $700 that I still need to be funded by March 1, 2011.
This trip will be very different than the one I took previous in multiple ways. First, I don’t have to travel alone. Yay! Second, it is much short consisting of only 10 days rather than 6.5 weeks. Praying that God prepares me for this. Third, I will be doing finishing work for Naomi’s Village, and finally, there will be children in Naomi’s Village. Praise God!
Would you pray that God again prepares my heart for this trip, and that He would continue to bless and protect the little lives that I will get to be a part of!
