Prayer Requests

Brace yourselves. This post will be long and chopped up. There's so much the LORD's put on my heart to share over the last few days, and I'm sorry, I can't make a call on what to edit out. I've listed out the topics, so choose to read whatever is on your heart.

But before I start, I'll put out my personal prayer requests:
- Transition from London to Scotland. I've gone from a buzzing home in London's heart with 8 missionary friends with whom to constantly fellowship with to a large Bible college dormitory with just me, one student who lives in a separate wing, and the missionary couple running the facility. An active aloneness (as in where I'm focusing on the LORD and actively listening to Him, versus reading and gardening..hobbies I do solo and can zone out in) is really hard for me.
- For tomorrow, my first day walking around Edinburgh and praying for it's inhabitants and speaking only when He prompts me to, as the LORD had directed me to do so on May 13th. (Today I caught up on desperately needed sleep, laundry, quiet time with the LORD, and having dinner with the missionaries I'm staying with).
- I've asked the LORD to make me culturally sensitive, and yet I keep feeling like He's telling me not to hold anything back in terms of joy, fervor, excitement, etc. He said that this isn't being American, it's being a Christian, the way it ought to be! Please pray I don't feel intimidated to just be myself and go all out.
- That the LORD would direct my path; that I would trust Him and lean not on my own understanding.
- The Fringe Festival has started and will arouse a lot of temptation and fleshiness in the visitors. I pray the LORD directs me to the broken and weary.
