Hurry up and wait.

We have spent the past few days in a mad rush of packing, praying, meetings, and running to pick up forgotten items. Now we are sitting in the Houston airport with nothing to do but wait for our flight to Belize. We have had quite an adventure already! From leaving campus at 3 am, to reorganizing bags once we discover that they weigh over the 50 pound weight limit, multiple people experiencing their first flight (with no horror stories) and quickly learning where the best food is at this massive airport. Now we sit in anxious anticipation of the month ahead. This morning before the bus left campus we prayed for peace, patience, flexibility, openness, for God to break our hearts, and for strength...knowing that God has prepared us all for this month. He goes with us into our classrooms and he protects us in all of our travels. I can't help but feel extremely humbled and blessed when I hear of all the people back home praying for us. You don't know just how much your prayers mean to us! These next three weeks are going to be an amazing experience as well as an intense struggle at times. Please do not forget us in your prayers! As we arrive in Belize and travel to our "home base" of Succotz we will be away from internet access until Wednesday, know that I will update the blog as often as I can, so check back frequently to see how our prayers are being answered.
