THERE SHE GOES....(THERE SHE GOES AGAIN)


Look out Guatemala, here comes some Southern Lovin'...

So one of my closest friends is going to be in Guatemala for the next six months.  Her name is Cody and she has been a complete Godsend in my life for the last four(ish) years.  I will gush about her existence in my life in a later post.  Right now there are more pressing announcements to make.

You see, one of her particularly spectacular attributes is that she loves to love people!  This is currently taking the form of a trip to Guatemala.  Now, due to some amazingly peculiar and frustrating discoveries that arose about a month ago, the means by which she was planning to work and inhabit Guatemala have changed.  However, this did not stymie her plans or what she is setting out to do,  though it did do a marvelous job of confusing the stuffing out of me.

So, as far as details on what she is doing once she gets there, I am at a loss.  All I can say for certain is that: 1) God's love will be touching lives.  2) Medical, physical and spiritual needs will be met.  3) Friends will be made.  4) Little foreign children will be in danger of asphyxiation via hugs and/or spontaneous adoption.

(She [hopefully] will be documenting her ventures via her blog throughout the course of the trip.  The frequency/existence of her posts will depend on the availability of wireless where she will be staying. )

Obviously, this trip will be an awesome tool for honing Cody's spirit and her relationship with God.  Things will happen on this trip, that can be assured.  I ask anyone who happens to read this to pray for Cody and the people she will encounter during her stay.  Pray that she is given an unfathomable vigor and confidence in serving those Christ came to save;  that she be floored by God's power and love unfolding in front of her eyes.  Pray that the people of the villages she frequents are touched by God's Spirit;  that they can come to know the God that loves them.  Pray for healing and prosperity in the country and in the hearts of its citizens. 

P.Y.S.R.S. (Parenthetical Yet Super-Related Statement) - She just took her NCLEX (for nursing license) not 24 hours ago.  She will know her results two days from taking it.  Pray that she passes with flying colors!
