Prayer Requests~
Nerves:
Last night I couldn't sleep and had bad dreams about all the things that could go wrong. I know this is Satin trying to freak me out, but he is doing a fairly decent job! I have butterflies in my stomach and I am kind of freaking out! Well that is not going to be tolerated here! Please pray for these nerves to go away and for this last day with the whole family to be an enjoyable one!
Safe travels:
There will be lots of driving and flying done in the next 2 days. First everyone will drive to the Atlanta airport, then we will fly to Washington DC, then we will fly to Brussels, Belgium, then we will fly to Kampala, Uganda, then we will drive to Gulu, Uganda. With all of that travel we need some serious prayer! Please pray that God is with all the drivers and pilots and that we arrive there safely! Also that no one looses their luggage on the way over!
Parents:
Any parents would be apprehensive about sending their children across the world with people they don't know. It is going to take a lot of prayer for all of the parents to have piece of mind about the trip, please continue to pray for all of the parents.
The East Family:
The East Family has just moved into their house in Gulu and are anxiously awaiting their 14 visitors! (10 interns and a mission group of 4 from Opelika High School) please pray for some rest and good family time before the house is bombarded with chaos as we all arrive! Also Matt will be traveling to Kampala to meet us so pray for his journey to be a safe one.
That is about all I can think of for as of right now, I may post again later in the day if I think of more! Thank you so much for reading and praying!
Love,
Mattie
Satan is busy. Not much rest for me last night either. Fear, nightmares, anxiety...you name it and Satan is doing it. Mattie, you are growing God's kingdom. Growing God's kingdom means you are a threat to Satan. He will come at you and everything you love with a vengeance and try to stop you. Don't let him. You will be fine, and we will too because God will place a hedge of protection around us. Stay the path, seek God's guidance daily, hourly and sometimes every minute. God is so much stronger and will get you there to do His will.
ReplyDeleteSatan will try to destroy and defeat; but all you have to do is speak His name!! It is mentioned in His word many times all we have to do is ask. If two or more join together asking in HIS name; and we are many. We lift you up daily!! May you be blessed and may you be able to do God's work giving God the glory. Love you!!
