So long, Farewell....

Just a quick post before I go to ask for prayer. I NEED it so bad and I can already feel my need for it.

I ask that you would pray that I find a good friend who I automatically click with. I also ask that you would pray that the plane ride wouldn't bother me at all and that it would go by very quickly. I ask that you would pray that I would not be discouraged or too homesick, but that I would love every minute that I'm gone. I ask for prayer that my team and I would be effective together and that we would accomplish much in the sight of the Lord. Lastly I ask prayer for something much smaller, that we would go to London....It seems like a silly thing, but God knows how much it matters to me and He can make it happen.

I apprciate prayer more than anything you could possibly give and so I thank you in advance. I will miss everybody so bad, but I am ready and willing to be used of God.

Better finish packing!

CEF Trip

Our youth group's annual Trip to CEF is always fun, and I never really know why, but I think this time I kinda pinned it down.
CEF (Child Evangilism Fellowship) in Warrington Missurri, is a great ministry and their mailbox club leads something like 3,000,000 kids and adults to Christ yearly, so it's extremely fruitful. I guess that in itself is a big part of why it is so great to go there.
The thing that touches me most about CEF, though, is that when we're there we're like family. When else am I going to look foward to playing games with Jacob and Scotty? When else am I going to sit around with Junior high girls and listen intently as they each share deep feelings for a different McCurdy. Honestly. It's almost like I get a small glimpse of what church is really supposed to be like. Like what it would be like if everyone were related (and we act like that too, having our moments of selfishness or other such things that cause fights.)...and it's great.
I love CEF and luckily it's usually a trip where people of all ages are welcome, so I'm sure I'll be going there for many more years to come.

Hi...
It's me, Emily.
This is not the first blog I've ever had, it's not even the first blogger blog I've ever had, but I forgot the password to my other one and it's really hopeless even trying to remember what it is..because I have no clue.
I'm still kind of aprehensive to this weird and calm alternative to myspace but I will do it so that I can post pictures of my darling family for Gretchen to see. It will also be nice to not have to comment as "anonymous" every single time....
I swear I must be the absolute youngest person to have a blog on blogger...and I don't know what females will read my blogs since they won't ever have a thing to do with the troubles my children are giving me or what my husband said the other day...ok sorry...I just want everyone to be clear that I am in no way as old as all of you. ok we're clear?...ok good.

Ok, not sure what else to say right now...what do you write on your first blog?..I don't know.

Well....I'll go now...but I'll be back soon I hope!
