Update: prayer requests and misc.

My mom recommended I give more specific prayer requests about thing going on here. Since the GAP group has been here there have been many obstacles and trails we have had to face. For girls especially we have dealt with our image(not comparing ourselves to others) and even as far as eating disorders. We have dealt with spiritual warfare such as nightmares (some girls had nightmares of being taken here and sold into sex slavery- my understanding is more than one girl had this dream others satanic dreams) and we deal with sexual polution EVERYWHERE we go. Yesterday a friend and I were walking back from a grocery store and had a very scary, disturbing situation take place. God is protecting us from who knows what here. It was just a wake up call to be even more aware and pray for God's protection more and more. We need prayer for our safety, that we would be prepared for the spiritual warfare and the struggles that we face alone and behind closed doors whether that be eating disorders, feelings of loneliness even in the midst of 36 people here, and many, many other things that bring us down, scare us and take our eyes off of Christ. One problem for me is worry - I struggle with it alot and have since I was young. Worry is not faith and I am working on turning my worry into faith. I worry about what to do after this, my relationship with Christ, spanish, my relationship,friends and many other things and I need prayer. That I can learn more and more to lay things in God's hands and leave them there. He is in control! I also struggle with trusting God finincially. As I have shared I still need $4000 dollars in my account by June or I have to pay it off when I leave. Just tonight I was pricing a one-way ticket to come home and they are so expensive - I need to get that soon! God is teaching me to trust Him in EVERYTHING. It is a learning process. Another prayer need is that I start teaching the women how to cut hair this Saterday. That is going to be a trust act also so please keep me and the women in your prayers! I hope is goes smoothly! Well that is just a few things I had in mind!! Hope you enjoy and thank you for taking the time to read this! God Bless!
