Prayer Request

This week Mark and I will be taking our first "real" vacation together. Our Honeymoon was to a small town just west of Austin called Fredricksburg. It was wonderful and we have very fond memories of that time, but it was by no means "fancy." Then, in 2005 we made a road trip to California to watch Texas beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl. But, let's face it, that was us driving our tiny Pontiac Sunfire thousands of miles across the country. We were so blessed to be able to take a family cruise with my family in 2006. Having said all of that, we are now headed to Mexico for a weeklong stay at an all-inclusive resort. This is the only trip we have every planned for, and saved for for several years. We will be all by ourselves and we are basically viewing it as a "Second Honeymoon". Well, as the time approaches, I am getting more and more anxious. So, I have two very selfish prayer requests. The first is for our safety. We have never even been on a plane together, much less out of the country on a trip by ourselves. Secondly, please pray for us to have nice weather. The weather forecast says rain, storms, and more rain. You can see how this might hamper a beach vacation. So, I know that these prayers requests may seem silly, but this is really important to us, and we would appreciate you lifting these things up to God. Father in Heaven, I commit these worries into your hands.
