I must admit I've been a bit nervous about the trip this year. I know one reason is just the old devil working on me...he does it every year. But it is stronger than usual this year and Michael is nervous too. So I ask for your prayers for peace and safety for everyone going for the March.
The trip will be shorter this year, only two days instead of three. Good in some ways, bad in others. But it's definitely something that's meant to be a pilgrimage, not a pleasure trip so we try to keep that perspective about it all.
I am so grateful for my blogging friends....I feel like we are all a circle of prayer warriors for each other. It was amazing to me how I actually could feel your prayers lifting me up the other day when I asked for them. God is so good to give us the gift of intercession; the gift of prayer; the gift of our brothers and sisters in Christ. I had been praying for guidance about a certain situation that had been nagging at me for a while and I knew I was ready to talk to the person it concerned, when I stopped feeling agitated about and started feeling His peace about it. It doesn't mean that I still wasn't scared to have to do it, but I felt confident that it was the right timing. I have paid a price for it but sometimes you have to do what you know you should and I did it out of love. I just hope that the person involves really does know that I did it out of love for them....
Hopefully, Friday I will be able to write you all about our trip...it always seems to be an adventure every year.
May our dear Lord bless all of you with His peace and everlasting joy....

Godspeed Barb!
I haven't made the trip to DC for the march since high school, but looking forward to going with my own kids as they get a little older.
Prayers offered for a safe trip.
Thank you, Jamie! I really do appreciate it...
