LESS than a week...

If anyone has ever been on a trip with me you know that I don't normally pack until the night before and I pack WAY TOO MUCH STUFF in order to be prepared for anything and everything.  Well, this morning, with the help of a friend, I PACKED FOR ETHIOPIA!  Not only did I pack, but I fit all my stuff in a small duffle bag.  

I also got a wonderful package in the mail today from my family.  I will be set for my flight...my family knows me really well and sent me my favorite snacks for the trip.  They also sent me an Irish Cross of protection! I am so blessed to have such a loving family.

Tonight at church they prayed for us and our trip and pastor Mark preached a good word!  I left church feeling so full and so hungry at the same time!  At the end of the service Pastor Chris said that he was singing so loud that his voice hurts and I feel the same way sitting here right now.  The room was filled with the Spirit and God was glorified in that place.  We truly were singing to the King and it was intense!

We sang the song "Mighty to Save" and part of the song says:

"Savior, he can move the mountains

My God is mighty to save, he is mighty to save"

It made me think about Ethiopia and Entoto Mountain.  God is mighty to save the people living on that mountain and I can't wait to see how he moves in us and through us in that place!

So awesome to have a sore throat from worshipping God! Great night, I'm hungry for more!
