3 hours...

In three short hours we will begin loading into the bus. As I finish packing and run through my list for the 1 millionth time I am stopping for a moment to pray. 

Here's my prayer for the trip:

Father, I thank you for all that you do in our lives. I thank you for your love and kindness. As we head to Chicago I pray that you would guide and lead us in everything we do. Father I ask that you would place us exactly where you want us to be. Make us sensitive to your Spirit and open our eyes to the hurting world around us. Change us on this trip. Change us into people who love you better and love others better. 

Give us wisdom and courage to have conversations that scare us. Give faith to step out and love others. 

We thank you for what you do and praise you for who you are 

Amen

One reminder:

Make sure you pack towels and soap and such....
