Feeling safe to be honest...

Do I feel safe in being honest because there is probably no one
reading this? Partially :) - ha! But what if someone does
read what I've written? Maybe it will encourage them in their
fears...
A lot has happened since we last "talked". Jeff was praying
a few mornings ago, then mentioned to me that he was asking
the Lord about me going to Cambodia with Katherine. I want to
go, but I know the trip will not be an easy one. Am I "up"
for the trip? Yes, by God's grace, I can do all things.
So now the consideration is for both of us to go. Jeff
talked to our missionary friend to ask if a middle-aged woman
and a 15 year old girl would be of benefit to him in Cambodia.
He said, "Yes!". As a matter of fact, he said they'd been
praying that an older lady would go to help with the younger
girls and their adjustments outside the country - among other
things.
So, am I (are we) going?
We don't know yet.
We just came back from Honduras and will not be sending out
support letters AGAIN. So if we're to go, the Lord will have
to show us from where the money will come.
The last trip was about $6,000 for the four of us that went.
This one will be about $4,000 for just the two of us.
The money doesn't concern me as much as the very long
plane ride does - 20-something hours in the air. I do not
sleep on planes... so I was awake last night for a good while
considering not sleeping on the plane - silly, I know!
Oh well - if it is the Lord's plan that we make this trip, He
will confirm it.
So I wait...
Will you please help us pray?!
