A few moments after I got the email notifying me of my acceptance I spent a good amount of time with the Lord in prayer and praise. A few of you have asked me what you can be praying for and so I thought I might share a few of my prayer requests for this journey so they can be lifted up by my (favorite) brothers and sisters.
-God to be glorified during this 5 month trip
-Comfort for my family (especially my mom!!)
-My flight to LA and then Fiji
-The family I am staying with in Fiji for 10 days during my Environmental Studies class
-The other study abroad student I am staying with in Fiji with the host family
-My classes in Fiji
-My flight from Fiji to Sydney
-My roommates in Sydney
-That I will find/have a support system in Australia
-My flight to Cairns & The Great Barrier Reef/My flight from Cairns back to Sydney
-Safety in the Great Barrier Reef
-My classes in Sydney
-Friends I meet in Sydney and in Fiji to see the love of Christ poured out through my actions
-General safety
-Hopefully being able to go to New Zealand during one of the school breaks
-Remaining in constant prayer during the entire trip
-Encouragement to continue reading daily
-Not getting sick or needing to go to the hospital in a foreign country
-Flight back to US
-Great memories and friends
-God's Kingdom to grow
Thanks so much. Prayer is so important and I would feel so blessed to have you praying for me. Please let me know if there is anything I can be praying about for you.
P.S. if you are wondering what that picture is, it's a fish I had last year that I named Cairns so that every time I thought of him or fed him or cleaned out his bowl I would remember to pray for Australia and this trip. It ended with me being obsessed with him...over feeding him and finding him dead. RIP. Also, the background is a picture I drew of Australia. College rocks.
