Ready to go. Doc and I are sitting in Brieanna and Jon's living room finishing up preparation for our trip. We just repacked one of our bags to try to get in some last minute items.
Brieanna is at work and just texted that she went out to lunch and her associates ordered Ethiopian food. She sent a photo and it looks yummy to me, not so much so to Doc. But, he will do ok.
As we have been preparing for the trip, a couple of scriptures have stood out to us.
"Forget the former things -- do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now, it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43: 18-20
"But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend. I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant,' I have chosen you and not rejected you. So, do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:8-11.
We are claiming these scriptures as our beliefs for the trip and know that God is in all we are doing.
We fly from Phila to Washington Dulles at 7 am Sat morning, Feb 22 and then leave Dulles at 10 am for our nonstop flight to Ethiopia, arriving in Addis Ababa at 7:45 am Sun morning.
We covet your prayers for safety and great health and that God will direct our every step. We are excited for what He has planned for us.
Love, Doc & Helen and Brieanna and Brittany
