leavin' on a jet plane

So, it's a few hours before I have to be at the airport and I'm finally at peace. My mind is anyway, if it could just talk to my stomach. Still, I'm excited and ready for whatever God decides to throw our way. I can't wait to meet all of our students and see the beautiful cities of Tallinn and Tartu. I know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I plan on taking advantage of every moment.

As I type this, I can hear the rain beginning to turn into a torrential downpour as Boomer runs under my chair to snuggle at my feet. This is the part I won't miss about being home. That and the heat!

Things to Pray for:

• That our team get smoothly through customs and both sides and arrive safely in Estonia.
• That our team remember that we are a unit and continue to stay connected to your goal.
• That the kids we will be with will have open hearts and minds to receive the biggest gift they can imagine, or at least learn about a Savior they've never heard of.
• That God will give us strength when we're tired, patience when we're uncomfortable, wisdom when we open our mouths, and courage to just be normal and not silent or weird.
