Today I am off to a small town in the Florida panhandle called Mariana ( i think that's the name, it's like 20 minutes from the Alabama border or something). Melody and I are going to work in the watermelon fields. We're meeting up with a bunch of the workers from Immokalee that we know (well, I only know a few of them).
I ask that you would pray for me.....pray that I would be changed in the ways God wants me to be changed through this experience. Pray that I will find a part of Him in the fields and in the lives of farmworkers. Pray for me as I learn to stop stereotyping, as I learn to love better, to forgive, to judge less....against both the rich and the poor.
So we will be working Tuesday and Wednesday and then driving back to Immo on early Thursday morning. Then I have to drive back up to Tampa on Thursday night so that i can go get my 6 month bone marrow biopsy check up on Friday morning. So it's gonna be a long and interesting week............
But i cannot wait to see many of you this weekend! And I will think of a lot of you today when we drive through Tampa on I-75. :(
