This is my last post before I leave for Asia. My emotions are starting to become mixed. I'm so excited to go but every time I look at my son I'm reminded that I'm leaving him for a decent amount of time. He's going to change. At this age, every week there is something new they do and with him, he grows! Still I can't get away from Luke 14:26 "If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison--your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple."  I regard the separation from my husband and son and how hard it will be for all of us, but it never stood a chance of stopping me from going down this path I've been called to.


Today's prayer request is for the unity of the team. Pray ...

• That we would be of one mind, united in prayer and enjoy fellowship with each other
• That we would be sensitive to the needs of each other and encouraging each other
• That everyone on the team would seek God and be obedient to Him.
