Departure

It's 5:13 in the morning and I am sitting at the airport waiting to board for my first flight to Houston to meet my team and then head to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.  Listening to Dawes (I thought I would mention that for the sake of my two sisters) while I wait.  The past month we have found out a lot of information about the projects that we will have a chance to work on in Honduras.  Not as bleak as my previous post but its always good to be prepared in terms of attitude because I think that expectation can really kill a lot of experience.  I just hope I have been harboring an attitude that is open to anything new that can come my way. 

Getting ready for the trip has been a foreign task for me.  I am usually very disorganized and usually unprepared.  It is great though to have a mother who is able to keep me on task and focused. I was especially excited yesterday when I bought a Frisbee as a gift while I am in Honduras.  In the shadow of my friend Tim during his work on the World Race, I will also be working to spread the influence of Ultimate Frisbee (Thought you would appreciate that Tim). 

By the way thanks to everyone liking the link I posted on my facebook.  Also special mention of Allie Beach, Julianna Stewart, and Greg Heimann for giving me a shout out yesterday.  I look forward to seeing Team Oakwood when I get back.

Encouragement for anyone worried either about me or anything else

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you

There is a great God who cares for all of us.  He has done and will do anything for us.  He is a lot more powerful than any of us and does more than any of us can see.  I wish everyday I could apply this to everything instead of only realizing it in key moments of anxiety.  He cares for you a lot in the small, mundane, large and important.
