I love my church.

I love Sundays.  I have been beyond blessed to be a part of the church I currently attend.

I'm not saying my church is perfect by any means or that we are better than anyone, but I have been reminded several times of the way that God shows me His love through individuals at my church.

I sent out letters to some friends and family and then several Sundays ago, my pastor brought me up front and we told the congregation about my trip and the opportunity to support me.  My trip and flight are both paid for and the last I checked with the church secretary, I was a little over my goal!  I'm hoping to use the extra for some random expenses I didn't figure in my costs, ie-immunizations, visa, travel to and from airport, etc.  I love how God provides.

People have constantly been asking me how things are going as I prepare and telling me how excited they are, which makes me excited!  Of course I'm excited to go, but it is so reassuring and just confirms that God is leading the way for me to do this as He continues to open the doors for everything!  It is also reassuring knowing that I belong to a body that I know is praying for me now and will be covering me in prayer while I'm on this trip.

So if you go to the Wadena Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, thank you.  I love belonging to that family.  To the rest of you, thank you also for your prayers and support.  I couldn't be doing any of this without all of you!!!  I also hope that you belong to a similar community of believers and can relate with what I'm talking about.

Happy Sunday  :)
