3. . . 2. . . 1. . . Honduras!

The countdown is on: in approximately 12 hours and 6 minutes, I will be Hounduras-bound. So much has been going on these past few weeks that I have hardly had any time to think about going to Honduras, nevertheless get excited about it. But now that the projects are done, the assignments are complete, and Spring Break has arrived, all the anticpiation that should have been building up over the past month has hit me like an explosion. I simply can't wait to be there!

I will be working in Tegucigalpa, the capital city, with Torch Missions. Over the course of the week, we will build houses, help with VBS, encourage the church, serve at a children's home, feed the people at the city dump, and play some soccer, and so much more. Our purpose in going is really quite simple - to exhaust ourselves with loving others.

I invite you to please pray for me and our team as we venture to Honduras this week. I believe with all my heart that God is already actively working in Tegucigalpa, and we are going to join Him in what He is up to.

Please pray specifically for these things...

• ...that we will be His hands and feet, that our words will be His words and that our actions will point other people to Him.
• ...that our presence there will encourage the body of Christ and also reach out to those who don't know Jesus yet.
• ...that we will embrace every opportunity to share God's love and grace without hesitation.
• ...that we will have energy every day to give abundantly, serve wholeheartedly, and minister passionately.
• ...that we will give freely, as we have freely recieved.
• ...that others will notice a difference in us and connect that difference to the presence of God within us.
• ...that God will speak to us individually, drawing us closer into relationship with Him and teaching us about what it means to be His disciples.
• ...that we will be a fragrant aroma for Christ to every single person we meet and touch.

Thank you so much for your prayers on our behalf. Check this blog again in a week for some awesome "God-stories" from our trip to Honduras. I cannot wait to experience God in that place and then share with you what He has done. To Him be the glory forever and ever!

Now it's only 11 hours and 43 minutes away!
