Prayer for Our Cross-Country Roadtrip

As many of you know, we have been planning a cross-country trip over the last couple of months. Wow, I had no idea how much work it would be! Though it has taken a lot of planning, I know that it is worth it. During this planning process, we kept getting confirmation that the Lord was leading us to take this trip. We have seen how He has opened up opportunities for us to share about Spokane Turbine Center’s important role in missionary aviation. He has provided places for us to stay, and we look forward to time with friends and family, and some good, quality time together on the road. Being confident that the Lord’s hand is upon this trip, we look forward to seeing what He will do. May He receive all the glory!

Over the past three months of marriage, the Lord has taught me so many things and has stretched me, challenged me, encouraged me and grown me. One area that the Lord convicted me in was how selfish I am. A good friend once told me that marriage is like “selfishness and pride rehab.” I couldn’t agree more. I hate to admit that I tend to think to highly of myself and my needs and wants. As the Lord lovingly corrects me and refines me, He has been faithful to continue holding my hand as I learn to become more like Him. I am far from perfect but a work in progress. He has encouraged me and spurred me on with a few passages of scripture from my time with Him in the Word.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:3-8)

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)

Lord, thank you for caring and loving for me so much that you became nothing, taking the form of a servant, and for dying on the cross for my sins. May your love penetrate every part of me that I may think of others as more important than myself and love the way that you love. Give me your eyes to see, your ears to hear, and your heart to love.
