So i've started a few blogs before, but with no real intent to post regularly. they were just random things.

But, at last it has become necessary. :) i am about to finish seminary, and my 2nd-to-last (is that penultimate?) class is a missions trip to London.

We leave Friday, 16 June, out of Newark, and we go as an entire cohort (and some of their spouses (yeah!)), for 12 days. By the grace of God, we've raised enough money as a team for our trip, and personally i've raised enough money to help cover my two-weeks-away-from-work (as wage, not salary, i get no paid leave from work).

In case you don't know this about me, i'm usually good with an initial push, but have a difficult time maintaining things (in any arena). So, what's that got to do with my missions trip and this blog?

well, i'd like to show my appreciation to all of y'all who have supported or are supporting me, whether with hugs-and-encouragement, PRAYER, financially, encouraging notes, or PRAYER, by keeping in touch with what is going on with my trip, and then beyond.

But so far, i've been pretty bad about keeping in touch with any of y'all since my support letters went out, and i've felt awful about it. :(

Soooooooo, starting now, i'll be blogging and posting and whatnot with updates and prayer requests, rather than sending out lots of emails (both in preparation for, during, and then after the trip). And on that note, I plan to use this after the trip to keep you all updated on my life.

So, please comment, or write me emails, or whatever. I'd LOOOOOOOVE to hear from you!

love,
kristi
