Well, I'm going with Osaka-onee-chan to the Dominican Republic on Thursday, and I was just going to echo what she said on her thread until I read it. When I read it and figured out that we're looking at it in two entirely different lights, I figured I'd better just go ahead and make my own thread (way to make things easier on me, Osaka. . . *shakes fist*)

Anyways, I'm really not all that nervous or stressed out. Unlike Osaka, I have no problem telling the VBS lady that I'm sorry, but have too much on my plate to help her, and that there are 29 people other than me going who have nothing to do who would be glad to help her out. I do have a bit to do packing-wise (mainly, I need to START DOING IT), but I'm not anxious about that either. I don't know if it's God helping me or me just being an idiot, but I'm absolutely just laying back and resting in the fact that I know God will take care of me and that he'll help me get everything done.

However, there is one thing I'm nervous about. . . flying. I wasn't at all nervous about it up until two weeks ago when I had a bad dream about it at camp. I don't remember too much about it, just that I felt like I was holding the plane up with my mind or something and that if I relaxed it would crash, . I think maybe in the end it did crash, like I said I don't remember. It's funny in a sense, but it also leaves me feeling a little uneasy. I'm afraid I might freak out a little when I'm boarding the plane. And darn it, I want to enjoy my first flying experience! So please just pray that I'll get everything done, that I'll keep trusting God, that tomorrow we'll get all our skits worked out (Osaka and I are going to be two of five clowns! He he!), that everything will go smoothly while we're down there, that I'll let God use me the way he wants to, and overall I'll come back closer to God then when I left.

Thanks!

Well, I am pretty much just going to repeat what I wrote to Mangafanatic, I think it applies to you too.

Have a good time on your trip. Don't worry about going on an airplane, I have been on several, and I can tell you that they are an incredibley safe and effective way to travel. Just remember to "always do your best in everything you do, but always trust in God and he will see you trough." I will be praying for you to have a safe trip, and a good time there, (Lord willing a very effective time ministering there too!)

God Bless

You can run, but you can't hide. . .

Like I said to Osaka, I hope that you also have a great trip. If you go there with an open heart, I know y'all will touch the lives of many. I pray that the Lord will help lead y'all and that you two use this a a great learning experience.

I'll be praying for ya.

All right, guys, today's the day! Please pray I won't forget anything I need-- OH! That reminds me! I need my luggage!!-- OK, I'm not that forgetful, but really I wouldn't put it past me to forget something really important. . . also that we'll have a safe trip to Nashville today and a safe flight to the DR tomorrow! Thanks bunches!

Good luck! We'll all be praying for you and Osaka-chan ... and your luggage.
