Going to the Promised Land

David, Micah, and I are heading to Israel bright and early tomorrow morning.  We return eight days later, on a Sunday evening.  We will be meeting my childhood pastor, Dr. Vineyard, there as well as Pastor Garry Way and his wife from Gainesville, Texas, and Kenny and Kimberlyn Cantrell, missionaries to Ecuador.
Please be much in prayer for us.  But mostly please be praying for my three precious children who will be staying here at home with their beloved babysitter Nelya.  I know they are looking forward to having Nelya here, but I am going to miss them somethin' terrible!

I normally turn down offers to go on these trips and just stay at home while hubby goes alone.  This trip is different because my pastor has specificially asked that I go.  Please pray with me, sweet friends, that God will use me for His glory.
