Mission Day #1...The Journey

As you may know, if you've been watching for updates at the West Puget Sound Women of Purpose blog, the team is currently on the first leg of their flights to Santa Cruz, Bolivia. They left from Seattle this morning at 10:00, and will arrive in Santa Cruz tomorrow morning at 8:10, local time.

In my meditation today, I am focusing on what has become Wendi's favorite scripture. I'm so blessed by watching the joy and the life that Wendi is receiving through her growing love of the Lord. As she prepared for the trip, she came to this verse:

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Phillipians 4:6, New Living Translation

There is much lying in wait for the team. In just the next day, there are opportunities for missed connections, lost luggage, air sickness, and certainly fatigue. And, as the mission progresses, there are many challenges and certainly there will be struggles.

Lord, I thank you for what you are doing in the life of Wendi, and in the lives of the people she will meet. I pray for the team's effectiveness. I pray that she will have open eyes and an open heart, to see the people who she meets as You do. And, I pray that these people will see You through her words and her hands. Protect the team from fatigue and illness. And protect the team from the work of the evil one. We know that you are the source of all that is good, and we thank you for World Concern and the West Puget Sound Women of Purpose as they seek to do your will.

Amen
