It's surreal to think that I am leaving for a Global Partnership tomorrow morning. I haven't felt much since now. I am excited to go, but life has been a bit crazy, so I haven't had much time to stop and think.
Just 5 minutes ago, I sat on my laptop reading the daily news and watching the Food Network and realized that for a month, none of this would be happening. And it scared me a little. The realization that my pace of life will be different is frightening and exciting at the same time.
I know that I will experience cultural shock. I know that I will miss home. Right now, my prayer is that I am real with God and my team throughout this experience. I don't want to keep to myself or pretend that everything is good, if it's not. Instead, I want to be honest because it's in our honesty that God can work.
It will be a great month away. There will be great partnership and all of us will learn a lot, I'm sure. Pray that we will continue to trust God in everything, even when it gets difficult. We aren't called to be perfect, but to be faithful to God's call.
