prayer request

hey guys

if you could pray for me as i'm trying to get all my support letters sent out for my stm trip this summer. Administrative items make me unusually stressed out, more so than other things, and so amidst writing the letter to new college friends, old family friends as well as even a few nonbelievers i plan to send it to, I just need to give it up to God and trust in Him.

also to trust that God will provide all the money to go; to pray relentlessly to that end that He would be glorified in that way. i really have so much lessons to learn in trusting God. Lisa told benson who told me about just how much God provides for what you need to serve Him [in the context of sgl] If you withdraw b/c of your feelings of inadaquacy, its b/c you're not trusting God to use you. The only thing you do run hard after God. (even that i must question myself: am I doing always doing that in my life?) but It's really stuck with me this week (in a good but humbling way). I think the simplest lessons are always the most impacting to me-- you must trust in God. When you teach 3 year olds you hafta simplify your 'sermons' to 5 word lessons [eg. 'Put your hope in God']. Sometimes i think thats all i can handle. 'You must trust in God'. I think its why i feel so comfortable in children's ministry..
