Prayer Request

My roommates, Sarah, Cherie, and I have been having very strange dreams ever since we arrived in Tokyo. They aren't nightmares in the traditional sense--no monsters or people chasing us, or anything like that--but they are very vivid and usually sad or upsetting. Nearly every morning since we've been here, we talk over breakfast about our weird dreams. This morning, after waking up from another one, I checked my email and had a note from a co-worker who led a summer project to Japan a few years ago. She let me know she had been praying for our team, and one of the things she mentioned praying for was that we "would have normal dreams." Apparently, on her project, people were having very vivid, disturbing dreams. It might just be changing to a new environment, but since several people on our team are having this problem (and even some people we left back home), if you could pray for us when you think of it, we would appreciate it!
I realized when I got the email this morning that it is rarely my first instinct to pray. I would rather try and handle things on my own and, when I inevitably fail at that, then I go to God. Pray for me as a leader this trip that I would always seek the Lord first, rather than rely on my own strength!
As it nears bedtime for you back home (well, at least those of you on the east coast), I pray that your sleep would be restful and that you would be able to take a few moments and thank God for all of the blessings in your life! Thank you for being a blessing to me!
