Being Receivable...

In about 4 months I will be leaving on a jet plane, heading towards the beautiful Sultanate of Oman. I have many, many feelings about it.

I'm excited.
I'm nervous.
I'm curious.
I'm expectant.
I'm hopeful.


My heart's invested. Through praying and preparing with last year's Oman team, I fell in love with
Omani's. In hearing friend's testimonies and witnessing Chris' experiences while he lived and led
there I know God desires to have His children reconciled to Him and to bring them peace. In reading
and learning about Omani culture I know I want to eat, breath, laugh, cry, and sweat (cause
it's so hot!) with Omani women. I really want them to know their beauty and worth as daughters of the
Most loving Father God.

I still don't feel ready. With four months to go, there's lots to do.
Main to dos:
Praying
Fundraising
Praying
More Culture Learning
Praying
and Praying

Mt. 10:40 says "He who receives you receives me, and he who
receives me receives the one who sent me."

Working towards being receivable...one surrendered will at a time.
