The Packet?

8 Days

So my packet has still not arrived...I was suppose to have it 3 weeks ago but the first one got lot "somewhere in Indianapolis."  The next one they sent out "early the next week" - it never arrived.  So Natalie called on Wednesday and we were assured they were sending it next day and we would have it Thursday...yeah, still no packet.  When we called yesterday we were told that Fedex is having bad weather and that it would be here today.

This is my itinerary, country info and tips, packing list, ticket, name tag and who knows what else.  It has not made the prep easy without it and certainly gives that feel of being under attack.  Whenever you get ready for something big it always seems like there are these obstacles in your way that pull you away from your focus and from God.

School this week has been pretty rough too.  I have been beating myself up pretty hard about the progress of this group (social and academic).

I did receive and e-mail for the coordinator going with us yesterday.  She gave the whole group her phone number, confirmed my roommate and that I get to go see Waryoba.  I was so thankful to hear from and that I am actually going...I will be calling her soon.

So, time to pray, time to pull God close.  I am been playing and listening to a song by Matt Redman called Holy.  The chorus goes:

Holy Holy Holy
God most high and God most worth
You are Holy Holy Holy
Jesus You are, Jesus You Are

I read once that by saying Holy 3x in a row the Jews were saying that something was perfect...God.  No matter what goes on with the prep or what goes on at my school if I pull to God, He is perfect and knows what to do.  Now, can I hear Him and then listen to Him?
