And so it begins for Melissa....

I'm leaving for China.
I'M leaving for China.
I'M LEAVING FOR CHINA.
         
  Nope, I'm not believing it either. :)

It seems crazy for me to think I will be headed back to my China home, back into the arms of those amazing, adorable orphans, back to the smog filled city, and back to where G wants me to be for the summer.
I have literally been having dreams about it daily for more than a week now, waking up with vivid images of my China family surrounding me. To think my dreams will become a reality very soon in a matter of days-hours, really.

This time I am flying without a ticket. I know....I sound insane, right?

The stand-by ticket was a bargain and my mom says it will also be a faith building experience :). I only need one seat so I am asking for you to PLEASE PR@Y I can make it on the flight!! My first attempt will be this Friday night Delta flight #129 at 8:30pm out of Seattle.

One seat....only one seat. Shouldn't be hard, right?

As much as I want to be there though (like I wish I was there right now), I know G wants me there at His perfect time. Please also pr@y that I will get on the flight because G wants me in China at that specific time.

For those of you who are wondering, I am fully supported and THANKFUL for all of your generous contributions. It's just humbling and I feel so grateful for you all.

And so it begins, this summer journey of being an Occupational Therapy intern at SFCV. I don't know what this summer will bring but I am excited to see how G's name will be glorified.

*Please also pr@y that Mari will have a safe flight as well to Beijing on the 19th! :)*
No worries...she has an actual ticket!
