Update and Prayer Requests

I have only five weeks till I leave for Haiti! Wow! It is coming soon yet it doesn’t feel even close enough. It’s funny how that can happen. I feel like God has really been doing some good, yet hard stuff, in my heart! He has been working in places that seem so obvious, places I knew I needed Him to touch to prepare me for my trip. But through my preparation God has been doing some healing in places I was unaware really affected my trip! It’s been some hard stuff but I’m so thankful that God revealed those things and is so patient and loving in the process!

The other day I was driving, thinking about the healing process God was starting and I started to cry. Though my healing may seem trivial to some, it felt overwhelming to me, wishing the process could be quick (knowing it may not be). I heard God say, “It’s okay that you're not where you think you “should be”or want to be…I’m going to walk with you through it. I won’t rush you!” and a sense of God’s love, peace, and patience completely just filled my body. I’m ready for God to do some work in these places of my heart, but as I have experienced before, know that the process can be painful. So if you are reading this (not sure who all reads my blogs) I ask for continued prayer for healing and preparation in my heart! Also, a continued realization and awareness that this trip is not about me, though I know God will bless me through it, but about Him and those in Haiti!
