Countdown = 0 !!!

We had a great morning at church yesterday. In the elementary area - the classes all prayed for Caeley, in Ethan's Bible study - many of the kids went forward to pray for him, 2nd hour - the middle schoolers and high schoolers had them come forward and prayed for them as a group, and in the main services they had Adam and I come forward and prayed over us and our trip. Ethan's 6th grade small group prayed for him that evening too and his leaders gave him a devotional with a special note of encouragement in it. We should be well covered in prayer! It was a nice send off. :) We are blessed to be a part of the GCC family. I want to take a minute to thank each of you. We appreciate your interest in following our journey down God's road and we appreciate your love and encouragement as well. We really really appreciate your prayers on our behalf though. We are constantly made more and more aware of the spiritual battle that is taking place all around us each and everyday. We have been asking God to strengthen us in preparation for Satan's attacks as we continue to follow the path that God has laid before us. Please pray that we will stay strong with serving hands and hearts and that God would speak clearly to us as we visit this wonderful ministry that he has led us to. In less than an hour my family will be awake, gathering our final things, eating breakfast, and heading to the church to load up the church van and head to the airport. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us! We are excited about the 3 people that God coordinated to be with us for the first week of our trip. We have seen His hand so evidently in all of our plans. We are praying that God will strengthen our relationships with one another and that most of all He will strengthen each one of our relationships with Him. We will be blogging and facebooking during our stay and we would love to share our trip with you thanks to the wonders of technology! Blessings!
