It is just after 11pm and that means not much sleep tonight as P is coming to pick me up at 3:30 am for the trip to the airport and then on to PaP, Haiti. Lots swimming around in my mind and even though I am tired I suspect sleep won't come easy tonight.
Tonight I am anxious, apprehensive, and already miss my family. As I am going to be gone for about 14 days this is longer than I have been away from my family in quite a while. I still believe that this is what I am meant to be doing, but it doesn't mean everything about it is easy.
I am also quite thankful tonight. I am incredibly grateful to all those who help with the financial burden of this trip and I am especially thankful to my family for supporting me in this effort.
I pray tonight for the trip and that all goes well, that we provide service to others, and that we return safely to our friends and family. I pray for the families that stay behind and support the mission team, may the home front not present any obstacles that challenge their mental and physical limits as they have to take on more responsibilities than normal.
Our prayers are with you, and those of us at home willingly take on the added responsibilities that allow you to represent us. Blessings to you all - Pam
