Bon Voyage! - Paris + Prayer Requests

Dear Family and Friends,

In a couple of hours, I'll be headed to the airport and then to Paris, France! For those of you who don't know, I'm traveling with Alan and Heidi Winter of Frontline Missions. (I also traveled with them in April to Honduras). I'm hoping to get to work more and more with Alan and Heidi. This trip to France is a step in that direction. God put France in my heart when I was 17 years old and now, His plans for me are coming together and becoming very real. I'm very excited about the possibilities ahead and I can't wait to see what God is doing in France and what He will work in my heart for the next 10 days. I'll be gone from August 10th - August 20th. We'll be staying with some friends of the Winters and will be traveling around with them for the time we are there.

Please pray for the following things (as well as whatever else God may put on your heart for this trip)

- Pray that we will be sensitive to God's leading and obedient to do what He asks
- Pray that we will see His vision for France and how we and Frontline Missions fit into that vision
- Pray for open doors in France and for us to see the best way to bring the Gospel to the French
- Pray for my language skills. This is a great opportunity for me to practice French with fluent speakers. Pray that I won't be afraid to just go for it. I want this to be a learning experience!
- Pray for my health. I've been struggling with extreme fatigue for a few months now. I have identified some possible causes and have begun treating them. I'm feeling MUCH better, but pray that I continue to get well and I stay healthy and have the energy for this trip.

Thank you in advance for your prayers. I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life and I can't wait to see what God's going to do. I'll keep you posted if I can (not sure what kind of time or opportunity I will have to email).

Much Love,
Christy

P.S. My cousin and her husband, Abby and Chris Ireland, are currently on a short term medical mission trip in Trinidad. Please keep them in your prayers as well. And, if you want to see some of the things God has done through Frontline Missions and their work in Latin America, please check out Peachtree Christian Fellowship's website. It's exciting to see what God did through them in Honduras last month!!

Please help...I need your input

Hello all! I'm researching some things for a project I've been writing. I'd love it if I could get some outside input for my research. I'm studying and writing about the lies we believe about ourselves, our families, our relationships, God, our situations and circumstances, etc. For instance, some of the lies I have believed in the past are: "I am an unfinished mess." "I am broken. I am not whole." "I can't do something because I am afraid." Please post your lies below. By posting comments directly on my blog at http://christysolly.blogspot.com, you may post annonymously. Feel free to post as many as you feel comfortable. These can be lies you've believed in the past or something you are believing now. Things that affect your view of yourself, of God, of others, etc. Thanks so much everyone! ****Update July 20, 2010****** Hello everyone! I'm doing my best to respond to each comment. I realize that some of you who are pos...

My Gift

Image
This week has been full of overwhelming comprehension of the goodness of God.  More than once this week, I've had to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.  If I'm honest, I've been pinching myself for well over a year.  I am living out my heart's desire and it is so beautiful.  God's faithfulness is being proven to me over and over with each new day. I am a believer, a dreamer of dreams.  I know that the Lord has promised certain things to me and I've worked hard to be obedient to His calling.  It hasn't always made sense to me.  Sometimes I've had to leap into the darkness with no idea of what might break my fall.  It's been lonely and scary at times.  And, there have been moments when I wanted to give up hope and stop believing in dreams.  But, the Lord is faithful and He loves His children.  All good and perfect gifts come down from Heaven. In less than five weeks, I will join hands with the man of my dreams and become ...

Our Perfect Day

Image
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights..." James 1:17 I've heard it said that, "Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale".  On December 31st, 2012, the Lord gave me a good and perfect gift.  Nick Giardino, the love of my life, planned a perfect day and the Lord surrounded and protected it with love and beauty. The entire day was a surprise adventure for me.  Nick planned everything with great love and attention to detail.  I met him at his house that morning and we set off for a day I'll never forget.  It was beautiful to be able to rest and trust in him to lead me through the day. The Lord gave us beautiful little moments and gifts throughout the day.  As we started on the journey, Nick said we needed to listen to some love songs.  He had a soundtrack for the day!  As he pulled it up on shuffle (it was in order for a different part of the journey), the ...
