a little update

Well, it's down to less than 2 weeks until I leave! I leave for Blantyre, Malawi next Thursday, February 4th!! I don't think it's totally set in yet... but there are a good bit of things to get done before I leave. I guess with that I'll leave you with a few prayer requests:

-for all the little details to be covered, especially the ones that I haven't even thought about...as I'm sure there's probably a good bit

-for God to give me strength physically, mentally, and spiritually -- I've been having headaches on and off for the past couple months and just recently started having cold symptoms; so that won't be too fun if I am still feeling a little ill when I leave

-for God to give the missionaries over in Malawi strength as they are very busy... pray that they will be able to find a balance between their work and their relationships with God and their families

-for Haiti. I know I'm going to Africa...but Haiti needs your prayers. Just last night/this morning four guys from church (Carlisle BIC) left to go down to "assess the damage and the needs of the orphanages, the schools, the church and many friends we are connected with in Haiti." For more details you can go to their blog that I put a link to on the side.

I hope and pray that you all are striving to be more like Christ in each moment. We need more "little Christs" in this world.
