Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I wanted to make sure I had everything together and all my information correct. In my last post I said that God was preparing me for something big, right? So Wednesday I found out what that big thing was. I was praying on my way to church Wed. night and telling God that I really wanted to go down to Louisiana or Miss. and help the victims of Katrina, and asking for a sure sign and some comfirmation that it was what He wanted me to do. Imagine my shock and excitement when I got to church and find out that one of my friends is going down there! I immediately knew for sure that it was what God wanted and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. This is what He was preparing me for and I am so pysched!
Tonight I talked to the man from the TN Baptist Association who is putting it all together and he said that they keep changing the destination because there's so much chaos and confusion going on down there, and they don't want anyone to go that hasn't had disaster training, but he's calling people all over trying to find a class that will take us so we can leave as soon as possible because there's not that many volunteers helping and the people that are there have been working literally around the clock. He also said that there was more interest in volunteering for this disaster than there had been for Ivan last year, and he was glad that so many people wanted to help, but the problem is getting the training and finding someone to teach it.
So all I can do now is wait. Wait for training, wait for another group to go down there, and wait for God to move things along. At least I know I'm going and for a good reason, I just don't know when.
