Interesting how different people prepare for a BIG trip. Interesting how people prepare for a mission trip. Some people (like me) plan way in advance, buy supplies, get immunizations and start blogging months before the trip. Others on the other hand, may think about the trip but really take no steps to travel until right before they take off.
Our guide has a list, a kind of count down starting five days out....that is a great idea, because if you don't do it this way, you can get so overwhelmed with the packing process that you either forget the important items or take WAY too much.
There is such a vast unknown when traveling to a foreign country as well as when you are surrendered to God. It can be nerve racking, but if it is, then one should examine their true surrender. Do you actually trust God to take care of the details, BIG and small? Then why is it nerve racking?
It is our responsibility to do the things we CAN do and then God will do the things we CAN'T. So I guess the nerve racking part is making sure to do ALL the things I CAN do and then just trust. Trust God, that He knows my heart and that I intend to do it all and then He will then pick up the slack. TRUST HIM.
