The following is an excerpt from Anne Lamott's book "Traveling Mercies". She says, "My coming to faith did not start with a leap, but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear...I can see how flimsy and indirect a path they made. Yet each step brought me closer to the verdant pad of faith on which I somehow stay afloat today." Please pray for "mercies" for our team on this trip to Cambodia. In many ways it will be a "leap" to a new pad...a new view of God's Story. Pray for health and safety...for a renewed view of life and purpose and for the people we will encounter. Pray for our hearts.
With love,
Tammy

Dear Tammy,
It is about 11:30 A.M. on Monday, 5-28-07. I began praying for you at 6:30 P.M. last night before you left Denver and you have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since. I hope your trip went well. I will continue to pray for you. God bless you all!
Sincerely, Joannie
