Well… I am two weeks out and kind of nervous. I am going to Haiti but to a place I’ve never
been with people I’ve never met. This
must be God… because “comfort zone Margie” would never do this… I am bringing
my favorite skirt <3 span="">
I’ve
been kind of nervous because I don’t have any capri’s or shorts after last
summer. So I had to go buy new ones… I had gone to Dress Barn but didn’t find
anything… and today I finally made it to JCPenney after a great dinner with Samantha. Because I haven’t really lost any weight in
the last couple months, I wasn’t really sure what size I’d wear… Thankfully I didn’t have to go a size up.
There
is a lot going on in my heart, I am nervous about going and doing something I’ve
never done before… But I know God called me to do this, and I am going to see a
part of Haiti that I’ve never seen before, and even though I am nervous, I AM
EXCITED! I am excited because I feel
like not only the gifts that God has given me will be used for His glory, but
of so many others…
My
couponing friends collected nail polish, vitamins, deodorant… Using their talents and time to help others
that they will probably never meet in heaven, but they know it’s for God’s
glory!
Along
with my new shorts, I have pulled out my favorite skirts.
It’s
getting real people! I am excited about
next week when I pack up my suitcases with my friend Rachel (she’s coming
over). We will lay everything out and
packing and praying…
I
have a favor to ask of you… My readers…
Before
we leave:
Can
you please pray for me and my team?
Please
pray:
that God go before us and prepare hearts to
feel the love of Jesus when we get there.
that no one gets hurt or sick before we leave.
That God speaks to our heart in devotions and
reading
That
God provides everything we need to go
That
we are focused on God
That
He speaks to our hearts
That
we draw close to Him
Team
unity
Also
before I leave… I am focusing on my
eating – eating whole foods before I leave and juicing (but I will add some
fruit to mostly veggie juice – I tried drinking all veggie juice and I almost
puked!). I’d love to just lose 5 lbs
before I leave but mostly I just want to be healthier before I go. I also have
to start weaning myself off of iced tea.
I will not have the option to drink 4 teas a day.
So
that’s it… just preparing my heart and body for my trip.
Sending
love!
Here
I am! Send me!!
