I am getting more and more excited as the days go by! Three more days and I will be on the journey that was ordained by God! I have so much to do before I go, as a matter of fact I am going to go and paint our spare room after I get through here. I have my suitcase picked out and I am compiling everything going inside to take to Church tomorrow night. I am flying alone with a lay over, so my bag is going with the group that is flying non-stop......kinda goes without explanation!
Tonight I will write my next installment about Mr. May, and tomorrow I will be going to visit my patients one last time before I leave......I am so excited! Thursday I will be running major errands......and Friday, well, I am still not sure, but I am sure it will be full! I want to thank each and everyone of you who have helped me, prayed for me, and who love me without question. I ma so extremely blessed and I am even more thankful! It is my desire to post daily when there, but I am not sure that during the first week we will have internet. Our first week will be in Nicaragua helping build a Pastorium. We will be staying in the home of someone in the Village so it is likely that during those three days we will all be a bit silent on the web! Pictures will abound, but editing may hold me back, but I will daily try to tell a story with pictures and words.........and I am sooooooo excited!
I have one particular prayer request before I go. Memorial Day Weekend, my zoom lens was involved in an accident in the boat. A wave came over the front and soaked my lens which was thought to be in a safe place. We put it in rice, but to no avail. My prayer is that no matter what lens I have or don't have, that God will put each picture that He wants to be seen, perfectly on the card that the picture is taken on. This is a reminder for me that I am not the artist.....He is....I am the vessel......He has given me an eye and the heart to see what others may not see........but He is the one who puts the scenes before my eyes.......He is the Artist!

- O.K., now on to painting I go!!!! May God bless you all, and I pray that as you take this journey with me, you will find yourself there with me loving the people and praying for them (and us!) as we serve one another for the furthering of the Kingdom of God!!!
