Leaving!!!

Our flight leaves Fresno in just a couple of hours!

My Father in Heaven, whose name is Holy:
I want to see your Kingdom here, I want Your Will to be done.
Father, provide for my needs today as You did yesterday.
I beg You to forgive my debts, as I have forgiven those owed me.

That last line bothers me--I tend to hold on to debts for the day that I might owe them. The other day, my roommate didn't wash his dishes. It bothered me, but I didn't say anything because I had left stuff out in the living room. Instead of just talking about it, or forgiving something so trivial and moving on, I started tallying. I tallied because I owed him a debt, and I wanted to be owed a larger debt. I suck like that.

That last line bothers me because it's a conditional statement. It bothers me because I have been forgiven, yet I hold on to IOU's for longer than I want mine held onto.

Father, continue to make me more like You. Give me the courage and strength to let go of my imagined power, and to forgive recklessly.

First Post!

You may already know this, but I will be going on my first international medical missions trip!  I will be going with a small team from The Well Community Church (through MMI) to Colinas, in the Santa Barbara district of Honduras from July 12th-July 26th.
While there, we will provide medical care including dental work, assessments, medications, education, and the like.  I will be taking pictures throughout the trip to post here when we return.  Until then, I hope you will continue to check back here for updates.
