With orientation just around the corner, my days have been full of ensuring I have everything ready for the next two months. In addition to racking my brain for what I should pack, there's also a lot of paperwork. I can only pray that I've read and printed everything that I'll need.
I did learn one thing today from all the reading: I will probably get malaria at least once in the next two years.
Which reminds me of something else you can add to your pr-yer list: health and safety.
Now, I know following Him isn't all about safety and security. In fact, oftentimes, obedience will lead us into situations that aren't safe or easy. Our comfort is that G*d is King and in control, so those risky situations in reality aren't really risky at all when we're following our good Father.
That being said, I definitely don't think we should ask for illnesses or dangers since they would hinder our work.
Anyways. Done rambling. Back to prayer requests.
As you probably guessed, malaria is extremely prevalent in the country I'm going to, as well as lots of other not-fun fevers and diseases. In my time talking with my supervisors, their family has gotten sick numerous times from various things.
Earthquakes aren't uncommon either... so please lift up me and my team as we aren't in the safest of places. And pray for comfort for my family. Especially for my dear mother.
I love knowing, though, that no matter what happens, be it good or bad, He will accomplish what He wills and glorify His name.
