ive got a couple of prayer requests for the mission trip that is coming up that im going on. we are sending in most of the visa applications this week, and neither of the team leaders has sent any in before. pray that they get there in enough time, and that everything is okay with them. also pray for finances, as each team member has $1800 to raise in 5 weeks. i have already had people offer to financially support me without me sending them a letter! also, stuff with the plane tickets has gotten a little munged, so that needs prayer too. we should have around 9 days in country it looks like. i am really excited, but very nervous at the same time. my worst is sure to come out on a trip like this...

10 points to anyone that can tell me where most of the lyrics are coming from in my last couple of blogs. 20 points if you can tell me the specific names of the songs. and googling is cheating.

the distance doesn't take too long for You to cover it
and when You reach me, You just blow these things apart
You clear the crowd that's gathered round the crisis of my soul
and whisper to my suffocating heart
