como te va?

i’ll be in MEXICO CITY. which is right before cairo…… hard to explain, we’re going to have orientation there, and debrief.

wow. im getting the “pre trip” jitters. i mean, i dont get jitters before i go on a trip to relax and enjoy myself… not to say that i wont enjoy Cairo. but the thing is that im going for an entirely different reason.

lets see…. things im scared of:
- getting insanely sick

- getting lost and kidnapped to iran or something crazy like that (thats a joke…bwahaa)

- culture shock
- missing the comforts of home, which is inevitable, but someone called Jesus is going to be with me the WHOLE TIME. how awesome is that?!

- being labeled as a stupid American.
- being culturally ignorant

things im looking forward to!
- culture shock. yes, i am. because its during these hard moments when you learn the most about yourself.
- being changed
- learning about God
- a different culture, completely different culture than i have ever experienced… ever.
- helping and doing Gods work
- trying some crazy foods
- kissing a camel… i promised a lot of people id do this… i also didnt specify the place i will kiss the camel. sooo, you’ll just have to see

OH MAN. Lord help me. YOU, help me. Pray for me, please. Pray for my jitters and that I learn to follow God better. because thats what i need, what everyone needs..

however, praise God for being omnipresent, omniscient, omni-amazing and all the other omni-whatevers that he is…. because its a lot. because he know exactly what is going to happen while I am there, which is great because… i sure dont. at all.

you know whats awesome, though? i almost have all of my money raised for this trip. isnt that awesome?? God really came through with that…. because i had faith in him, and he did it.

ok friends. here is a song that has been on repeat on my mac….
