Prayer Requests

Pray that God would give me patience and strength as I wait for my trip to Haiti. I have felt really tired lately and a little stressed with all that needs to be done before I leave (finishing up my classes/finals, training for Haiti, job transition, church). There are just a lot of "transitions" in my life right now. Though these transitions are all for sure "things" there is still a waiting time and necessary steps I need to take before they unfold! I need God's peace, grace, and strength big time!!

I also ask prayer for my relationship with God. I really sensed God wanting me to step back from all my reading on poverty, which is not necessarily bad, and really spend time just being loved by Him. I can really get caught up sometimes in "ministry and serving" and forget to just let God fill me with a love I so desperately need from Him! I met with my friend Heather the other day (who lived in the Dominican Republic) and she told me I was going to fall in love with Haiti. I told her I felt like I already have! I truly believe that God has put that in me even though I haven't met the people of Haiti, but I do believe God wants me to have MORE intimate time with Him...... I want my relationship and intimacy with God to be what pours out and off of me...
