Breaing Cross, Will Travel

So I need to update this thing more often...

Anyway, I want to first just send a little bit of praise upwards to the Big Man and just praise Him and thank Him for the blessing that he has bestowed upon me in terms of the ability to lose weight and get healthy. I know that it was He that allowed this change to take place in my life, and I fully intend to use this blessing for the furthering of His kingdom.

This was put into perspective today when I compared three different sets of passport pictures I had, starting with the one that is on my passport (which was taken in December 06), then a set that was taken before my trip to Argentina (which were taken in February 08), then a set that were taken today for me to send to the International Missions Board. Wow, the change is so noticeable, and for me to recognize that in myself allows me to further praise God for this blessing, in that I can see just how far I have come along.

Anyway, now that that is out of the way, the main reason for this post is an announcement of missions, as the title infers. Namely, this post is my request for prayer as tomorrow I will be departing for the Central American nation of Honduras with a group of college students and adults from my home church in Moore County, NC, to build a house with the North Carolina Baptist Men.

This will be my first trip to Honduras and also my first international trip involving construction, so I am a little apprehensive about this trip, but as I wrote about earlier, that is just something that happens to me anytime I about to need my passport. However, I know that I am going to do the work of the Lord, and for that reason I am calm for I know that whatever happens to me on this trip, I am doing the will of the Lord through the Great Commission and that I am putting myself into His hands.

I ask that you all will pray for me and the rest of the team that I will be on. I ask that you will pray for the people that we will be working with in Honduras, that they will have open hearts to the Gospel as we share it with them through the construction of a house.

I will be journaling every day that I am in Honduras, so I will be sure to post those entries when I get back stateside. Until then, just pray for us as we travel and may God bless us all.
