The Eve of My Departure...

Well it is Friday and I leave for New Orleans tomorrow morning wicked super early. Last Sunday I was commissioned during church for my trip by Jamie. It completely amazes me all of the love and support that was sent my way that day. Many of the people I go to church with wished me well on my journey and sent their love and support my way. The mission trip team, especially those who went back in November wished me well and gave me tips on what to bring and what was helpful for them. During this past week I kept getting emails from them with last minute cyber hugs and words of support! It totally blows my mind how much I am loved by this church congregation.

I've packed my suitcases and as usual, I think I have totally overpacked! But I have weighed my bags, to the best of my ability, and I do not appear to be over my weight limit! SO.... Everything gets to come... My cats seem to sense that something is going on. They have been overly attached to me lately. As I type this Loki is in my lap licking my hand. Makes typing a bit difficult. :)

I have mixed feelings about this trip. I'm not quite sure what to expect when I get down there, so that is tough for me. I like to know what is going on and sort of be in charge... I'm a bit nervous about meeting a group of people I have only met once before and some not at all. I am sure once I get there and settle in all will be fine. I have to put my faith in God and let him worry about what I can't control... Well that is MUCH easier said than done.

Anywho... I have a few last minute things to take care of before I can relax for the night. Fill up the cat bowls, sync my iPod to the computer, put the suitcases in the car, etc...

Well hopefully my next post will be from New Orleans in a day or so.
