Ok so last night I had thoughts just flowing out and wrote to you but then........I accidentally deleted all of it UGH....So now I will attempt to remember what I had shared for you. Thank you for being understanding of the process of thoughts to written word. My punctuation and grammar may be off but the thoughts will still remain.
Sunday is one of my favorite days I so enjoy the fellowship and encouragement and of course a nap on any other day cannot contain the same peacefulness to me.
God always coordinates our lives like a symphony the kind that just leaves you breathless and in awe of just how good our God is, because of it's pure beauty and the way that it fills your heart with joy and pain at the same instant. Other times we can not see the forest for the trees, but yesterday I was in awe of my saviour! I spent most of my day in prayer with expectancy of God's presence and He does not fail. He has left me no doubt that he can use me in-spite of my imperfections and lack of knowledge if I am willing he will provide everything I need in the exact moment that I need whatever it may be. It is still my responsibility to continue to grow and learn and to press into him with my prayers this I do know.And although there is still much of me that is simply under God's grace and mercy for which I am so humbly thankful. I am still beyond words that he has called me to Sudan. For those of you who are reading this for the first time or do not know me me this is my second trip to Sudan after the first trip God just simply filled me with the desire to return and a love for his people there. Now he has opened the door and I am so excited!
I will be traveling with one other to meet with a medical team in Yei and then meet with a team from my own church after that in another (town) after they leave I will be the only American in the local pastors compound ( I may have an opportunity to meet and work with two other Americans but this is not certain)so I thought this would be a good opportunity to add a few prayer request.

Prayer Request-
*Safety of my team and myself
*That God's will and provision cover every aspect of preparation, from the physical, spiritual, and financial
*The Taposa people will have open hearts to hear God's word that even now they will begin to have dreams and visions to know how good and mighty he is

I love you and I am very glad that you will be able to stay in Sudan 3months. When I went in April my comment was "Its taken me 60 years to know where I belong". I will be praying for you as you prepare to leave to go and while you are gone. I will also be praying for our time as we get ready to go and meet you in Kapoeta. My heart will be with you as I too love the people of Sudan. Jewell

I love you,sister. I am so very proud of you and only hope you will always continue doing what makes you happy and peaceful. I am traveling a totally different path in life and at this time I will never get to do what you are able to do, however, I will enjoy your trip through this blog.
