October seems so far away right now, it's almost like a dream. But what we do right now, our plans, are am important part of this mission. The time we spend in Hong Kong is only a brief portion of this trip. Only 8 of us are going, but it takes a whole community, a large support group, to make it possible. We are the body of Christ reaching out, in this case to the other side of the world.
Bill and I have decided that we will be staying in Hong Kong and being part of another team from St. Louis that is coming 4 days later. They did not have enough team members and were in danger of cancelling their trip. We are thinking that while we are on that side of the ocean, and have the time flexibility, let's do it.
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." I have felt a desire to go to Hong Kong for years. Even though this trip was planned when I was still undergoing chemotherapy, I was ready to sign up in an instant. I'm ready to do whatever the Lord sets before me. He'll have to provide me the health necessary to accomplish it, if it is truly his will. Including the ability to tolerate a 16 hour plane flight! I am the oldest one on this team!
"I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength."
