Although, I think when I get on that plane, as soon as a baby starts wailing, or the person to my right starts picking his/her nose (you'd be surprise how often that happens on a plane- lack of tissues?), or the person to my left starts snoring...that will be my wake up call! :) haha
Please pray today for:
1. Safe travels (no emergency landings, please! and making all connections- some connections I only have 1.5 hours of layover which is cutting it close)
2. Great seat-mates
3. Luggage to arrive on time
4. For health and rest while on plane
5. For sanity- I have about 33.5 hours of travel over the next few days
6. For my mom and family back home (especially my mom as this is the longest stretch we've been away from each other)
7. That I DO NOT COMPLAIN about the heat when I get there (there's nothing worse than a grumbling, complaining short-termer, to discourage the people around them- please pray that I learn to appreciate sweating, haha)

I will arrive in Bangkok on Friday morning, and will be met by a friendly faced missionary from the UK. Her name is Caroline. Please pray for her as well. I am one out of 20 other short term individuals/teams that has applied to come to Thailand this summer and which she has had to help coordinate. She's had a busy schedule lately! But she's amazing at what she does.
Just wanted to leave you all with another reason to celebrate this week. I was reading in Matthew 28 today (I'm celebrating an early Easter because I won't be Stateside for it) and it says, in verse 5, "The angel said to the women, 'Don't be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here. He has risen from the dead as he said he would.'" KAPOW! What a way to end 3 days of what you thought would be the end of your life with a God that does as He promised He would. He said He would rise from the dead and save us from all our sins, and He did. I hope you can rest in His promises this week, as I hope to.
Psalm 119:50, "When I suffer, this comforts me: Your promise gives me life." And so it does! :)

Well, I'm off! Thank you again for all your amazing prayers and support! :)
Are you ready to take this journey with me?
