Hey guys, I am finally going into the last week of my time at home before I get on an airplane and fly, literally, half way across the world. These last few weeks have been incredibly hard for me because I have had nothing to do at all. My semester went well and I got good grades but I love having important things to do. I miss class and I miss going to the homeless shelter every week. I love working for the Lord and doing things in his name. These past weeks have been endless amounts of TV, cookies, TV, and cookies. It has been really hard to feel unused. I LOVE being used by the Lord and I can't wait to go to Thailand and have a purpose once again.
I have been telling people half-heartedly that I am excited about my summer which sounds strange. These last few weeks have created in me a laziness that has made me less excited about my trip and I hate that. Please pray with me that God will revive my passion for his people and really set my heart on fire for bringing Him glory. Love is a choice and I choose to love God and I choose to love his people. Please pray that I would remember that bringing glory to God is my purpose this summer. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3: 17
Please pray in this last week that I will really be able to meet with my King and that I will really feel his presence and his peace as I leave this country of comfort. Please pray that the transition will go smoothly and that I will be able to stand the heat and the new culture and the business after this time of idleness. Please pray that I will understand the purpose of this time of waiting and that I will not get discouraged in this last week but that I will be encouraged and ready to serve the Lord with my whole heart and my whole life. I am so grateful to have people in my life that are willing and ready to pray for me. I cherish every prayer and I am so thankful that I will have that comfort of knowing I am prayed for this summer. In this last week I just ask that you all PLEASE PRAY!!! ;)

It is a privilege to pray for brothers and sisters in Christ and am grateful that we can pray because of the Blood of Christ. Praying with you. You will do great because of your passion for the Lord and to see people come to the King!
You know I'm praying for you!! Everyone here at work has been praying each morning in huddle too!!
By the way, what's wrong with T.V. and Cookies??? ;)
Sweet friend, I am praying for you every day at all hours of the day. I think of you often throughout the day and lift your name up in prayer. I know this will be an incredible journey for you and a wonderful learning experience. God is with you every step of the way and though you don't feel completely prepared right now, when you get off the plane, I know you will be. Remember that you are God's light and that even though you are bringing Christ to these people...Christ is already there. I know you will find HIS presence so powerful in the weeks to come! I love you precious sister in Christ!

Hey Rachel,
Hope you are doing good. I'm thinking about you and praying for you to do well in the hot weather.
Angel verse for you: Psalm 34:7
"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them." I wonder what your angel looks like? :)
Love you!
