Papercutting for God

One of the more amusing parts of my job is the little side-tasks that spring up throughout the week. This week we needed to send 38 copies of a theology book to elders and deacons in Colombia. But since they were to be transported in a suitcase, the books needed to quickly lose weight. Thank goodness for our industrial-grade paper cutter! By slicing off the wide margins, the books were slim enough to travel.
One thing the Lord keeps teaching me is how little moments and interactions might not seem significant, but they can have a big impact.
So in this small moment, pray for Spain. :-)

I love booking flights. Because it's a part of my job at Tenth, I get to hunt down the best itineraries for short-term and career partners, pastors and other global outreach friends. Managing schedules, pricing and connections is a great puzzle challenge for me.
I booked my September tickets for Spain a few days ago and I'm extremely thankful because I managed to get them (with a little finagling) for less than half of the average price. My total trip cost will be less than $850. Between selling a few things on Ebay (prom dresses, anyone?), cutting my coffee spending and raising a little, I'm trusting God to provide for this venture.
So what will I be doing in September? Besides visiting Miss Rosario in Barcelona, I'm praying that God will give me a better sense of where he would place me in Spain. I also hope to visit the church in Águilas and catch up on the work there. If I have the opportunity to help with a conversational English group or something similar, I'll be happy to help with that, too.
Pray for me to move forward in wisdom and faith, fixing my eyes on Jesus.
