Time is flying by! Tonight marks one week until take off!
I have had many anxious moments, but thankfully they are followed by feelings of peace. I know God is with me and calming me down each time. I also know that as soon as we are prepared to be agents of God, and about to make a big difference, that is when Satan works to pull us down. I am praying hard for God to keep me close to him and keep me from feeling overwhelmed and lost. Spiritual warfare is so real and I am living it. Thanks to God, I will make it through with flying colors - I have faith!! Again, thanks so much for your prayers, I am feeling them!!
I have been packing for about one month now and I think that I am almost finished! I checked the weather in Chiang Mai and it looks as if the trend will be 88 degrees F with a heat index of about 92 degrees F. The forecast predicts scattered showers for most days with 60% chance of rain each day and 70%-90% humidity! Ugh!! I predict great hair days! Ha!
Since my last post with the itinerary, things have changed, as promised! Apparently, the programs that we will be involved in maintain very flexible schedules! So we will not really know what we will be doing every day, until each day is over! How is that for letting go of control?!
We did change the last part of the trip. We will be leaving Pua and heading for Chiang Mai the afternoon before our flight, so that we will have a night to stay in Chiang Mai, before getting up and flying out.
I think that I will have access to the Internet while I am in Thailand, so I will plan on making entries. Please keep checking my blog each day to see what's going on! I am also going to try to hook my camera up to the computer and post some pictures, if possible! Wish me luck or send me instructions of how to make that happen!!
Please remember to pray for my family while I'm gone. Dave is already planning on watching lots of movies each night, after the kids go to bed. Ben and Sydney keep telling me they don't want me to go. Although they know why I am going, and the importance, they still want their Mommy. Ugh, that pulls at my heartstrings! I am expecting many tears at the airport, many of which will be my own!
Thanks to you all!
Here I go!

Keep on keepin' on - you're doing great. We'll be saying prayers too! Don't you know after this trip you're just going to want to go back again...? :)
Hey Mindy,
Just to let you know I'm thinking and praying for you. It seems like this is your first full day there, from looking at the itinerary, although you can go nuts trying to figure out what day and time it is. lol
Anyway, looking forward to your blogs if you're able to get internet. I know God is goign to do a lot of things through you and the group while you're there.:)
Love, Cathee
P.S. Betty told me yesterday at work she's been praying for ya too. :) You're still there in spirit. :)
Daniel P. said..... I hope everything is going well. And I hope Ben and Syd are keeping up their spirits. Have a good trip to Thailand. Sincerely, Daniel P. :)
