Hey!!!!
Its so neat to think that within 24 hours the participants will finally be joining us. For months it seems this has been so far away and now it is finally here. All of the preparations are coming together just as God intended, thanks to everyone's work prior. As a group we are all coming together and opening up to each other. With our initial bonds continuing to grow and strengthen I think this is setting the tone for the participants. Our discussions have have brought up some great eye-opening points. All in all this trip will be filled with tons of learning. If we can show the participants that we can trust each other and that we can overcome our difference then hopefully with time they will be able to do so also. Thanks to everyone for all of their prayers I think this trip is going to be greater than any of us ever expected. It will change our lives just as God planned, as long as we trust him.
Today, for compline we went out to the beach since we had spent the late afternoon at the BEAUTIFUL Whitesides's beach house. It was simply lovely to have a few moments to think and meditate. As we went around the circle and read the compline service aloud it really gets you in the right frame of mind for a good night sleep ( which we all need so we can be prepared for tomorrow when the participants arrive!!!!!!) and that as our participants are traveling they are in our prayers wishing them a safe journey. We are continuing to pray for all of our participants and their family members. We know that this will be a great adventure for all of us and that we will all take this experience with us back to our lives.
Peace and Love,
Sarah Clark
