5am - Alarm goes off. I must say that I have never woke up super excited on the first day of a mission trip. Today was no exception. I wasn't dreading going or stressed.
I simply felt tired. I wonder if Paul ever just felt tired.
Not sleepy tired - but weary. Ministry is awesome and there is nothing that I would rather do...but there are times where I wish for less work...
6am - all packed and ready to go - time to spend time in the word. Today Philippians 1:27
6:30am - at the church to load up with Joshua, Greg, Patti and Matty! Thanks for the help guys...Josh, as usual, was very organized and ready to go.
7am - team begins to arrive. A couple of our 4 teenage girls were late...I hope this isn't a trend!
7:30am - Pastor Marc Shaw shows up to pray for our team.
7:45am - A last stop in to say goodbye to my wonderful family. I will miss them so much!
We are now on the road - about 40 miles away from my hometown - Creswell, OR. We will stop there for fuel...
Keep us in your prayers!

Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.Jesus - help the 9 of us on the trip to be able to live as citizens of heaven. I don't want this to be a trip - but a time of being an agent of change for the kingdom. I pray for your guidance.
