In 3 days I will be going on a mission trip to Ethiopia with 18 other adventurous souls from area churches. Why am I doing this? Well, there has always been a desire to serve others, and now seems to be a good time. We can all relate to a certain selfishness about our life being "all about ME", which for me became a realization that this part of my life needs to be about 'others'.
This prayer says it all --
"Lord, I give up my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept your will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to you, to be yours forever. Fill me and seal me with your Holy Spirit. Use me as you will. Send me where you will. Work out your whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever." (originally by Betty Stam)
So check here for updates from Addis, and Dubai...as I fly half way around the world to build relationships with God's children in Ethiopia.
