So I'm 95% sure that I'll be heading to Louisiana next Sunday. I'll be joining my pastor, Ramin, and my good friend Andy Swanson to help in the hurricane relief effort.
The 5% uncertainty is due to my job, so please pray that I'll be able to get the entire time off that I need. It's looking good, but there are still a few days that they can't guarantee that I'll have off . . .
At the moment, I'm feeling a lot of mixed emotions about going--a sense of relief that I can actually go and serve these battered people, but also a sense of fear that I won't know exactly what to do or say once I get there. I mean, I can easily hand someone a bottle of water, but how do I comfort the mother who is waiting to hear if her children are alive, or if her house is still standing? I'm sure God will work through us, but there's just some anxiety whenever you enter into something of this magnitude. So please be praying that God will guide us.
