In Church I was commission for my trip by Pastor Liz, who is amazing and very supportive. While she was introducing me and giving a bit of background to what I'm doing and that sort of thing she got a little chocked up. In listening and watching I also get tears in my eyes. I am so thankful for Liz.
I have gotten to know her by being a volunteer in Sonlife where is she is the pastor. When hearing her pray for me there were parts in there that I had written on my donor page with Mercy Ships. Liz listens and takes the time to make it personal. It was very special for me to have Liz pray for me.When she asked people from the congregation to come up and lay a hand on me while she prayed I was a bit shocked at how many people came up to the front of the church. So much that this is where the tears really started. :)
I mentioned before that I was going on the trip alone. I take that back. I KNOW God is with me everywhere I go, I trust in him that I will be safe and he will help me through whatever whenever wherever i need it. And Yes, I'm getting on the plane without knowing anyone else who's physically walking there with me. But I know and have seen and felt the support of all the church members today who have prayed for me, and will pray for me as I continue on this journey through whatever is laid in front of me.
Travelling alone just keep you praying all the more harder ... same with those you left behind :)
