T Minus 3 days

I leave to go on a mission trip to Romania with 9 other people from my church this Thursday-- I haven't blogged about it because I really don't know where to begin! This is my first mission trip and I am going without Brent or Luke, so you can imagine the roller coaster of emotions I have swirling in my head... I am choosing to focus on the fact that I will have 10 strait days of undistracted ministry... no meal planning, no "root cause analysis", no dirty diapers- just me, my Bible, and 9 other like-minded believers aiming to spread the hope to which we are called!

I can't believe how many people I passed in the church hallways yesterday, the phone calls, and emails from friends and family with promises to pray us through this trip-what a blessing! So if you need specifics on how to pray, please pray for these things:

1. The gospel is plainly shared and recieved
2. That our team encourages Romanian believers
3. Our safety during travel
4. That I learn more about God and other cultures
5. That my sweet boys back home are safe and sound

That should keep us on our knees for awhile, huh?!! Thanks for praying.

Abbey,

I just found out a few minutes ago that you were going to Romania and then I see this post...definitely a call to prayer! I'm so excited to see how God is going to use you and the other people on the trip. Know that I will be lifting you up in prayer while you are gone. If Brent needs anything while you are gone, tell him to give me a call.

Abbey,

You know you are in my thoughts and most of all my prayers. I added you to my Sunday School pray list and have many, many friends praying for you! I'm so proud of you for giving our Lord your time and willingness to spread His word of Salvation. I love you, Girl and can't wait to hear how our Lord has used your talents for Him!!!

Dear Lord, wrap Your loving arms around Abbey as she goes to serve You and work in Your mighty way through her. Keep her safe and the boys here in Texas!!
In Jesus loving name I pray, Amen!!

I love you,
Deb
