[Here it is: Some bits of actual writings from my personal prayer journal about my recent mission trip to Haiti. (In some kind of order). Most of it is what I wrote then, I'm sure I'll be adding my own thoughts through it. The post-trip thoughts will be in blue]

Dear God,
I still can't believe this is already happening. It is a blessing to know you have the body of Christ supporting us as a team through prayer. I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do on this trip for us all.
We have such a great team, it's a good combo and I know You have a purpose for each one of us while we're here. I pray that we would all be open to hearing Your voice and not just that, but to act on it as well.
We met a few people who are part of the Rotary [sp] club who are also going to Haiti on a missions trip, providing glasses for those who need them. They are from Wisconsin. Small world. The gentleman sitting with Mary and I was very pleasant to talk with.
It's funny, the leader for their group I saw is reading "When Helping Hurts," Crazy. [This is a book that our team was reading prior to our mission trip]. They will be working in Haiti for 16 days.
