American Flight 1291

Flight is booked, and I am very excited to be leaving in less than two weeks, even though American Airlines is no longer providing pillows (some how I will make do). I have a lot to prepare over the next 12 days, but I believe it will all come together. A friend, Liz, has been helping me with some things (you rock, liz!). Also my parents will be in town this weekend, so I'm going to rope them into helping me get things together. It will be great to have some of my family here for the next 4 days. Even though I don't see my family that often (3-4 times a year), I am really going to miss them. God has blessed me with two amazing parents who are such a great example and encouragement to me and with a wonderful sister who is getting married this fall (yes I will be back for her wedding)!

God has been pressing on me lately that amidst all the craziness of work and preparing to leave, I need to focus on two things: Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself. He will do the rest. Praise be to God for the way He so graciously uses imperfect and fallen people like me to do His perfect work.

By the way, if you want to receive my prayer email list, send me an email at bennyg612@hotmail.com. Thanks!
