The day has arrived...

I'm sitting here typing this post while waiting to board Korean Air to Vietnam! I can't believe it's here...
I'm very sleepy and am looking forward to getting some sleep onboard the plane. It will be a 13 1/2 hour trip to Seoul, Korea then another 4-5 hours to Hanoi Vietnam.
I'm sitting here with most of my team. The rest we will hookup with in Seoul and Hanoi.
God is totally in control of this mission. I have to empty myself and let him guide and lead me as to what to say, who to say it to and when to say it.
Prayer coverage is very heavy for our team and we feel it!
To God be the Glory!!

The night before...

Well, it's here! 3+ months of planning, praying, fundraising, worrying and stress are now coming to an end. A new chapter begins tomorrow morning. God is with me- what is there to worry about?
Vietnam- here I come!!

Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the voice of The Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for us?
I said:Here I am. Send me.

It is now the Monday before my Vietnam mission. The bags have been packed for a second time and will need to be packed a final time on Thursday. I have had all my shots- Typhoid, Hep A and Hep B. I start Malaria meds Weds. I hope they don't make me too sick to begin with- I have to work that day. I need to purchase a spare camera battery and a few snacks and I believe I am all set!

I referenced Isaiah in my opening. It truly sums up my heart going into this trip. I cannot wait for the roller-coaster ride of emotions that I'm sure will take place. I also cannot wait to meet the rest of my team in Chicago and in Vietnam. We are ready to serve The Lord!

Vietnam. T-minus 4 days!!
