Well, here it is the night before we head down to Honduras. The bags are packed, medicine is started, and I know I should be in bed but I can't sleep. There is so much running through my mind...and I have a feeling that I'm not the only one on the team who is having this same issue.
It's funny because today in all the crazy running around getting all the 'last minute' things I realized that when Jesus called the fishermen out of the sea he said come and they came. They didn't have to get anything in order. They came ready to do whatever God asked of them. At other times in the Bible we are instructed to "be still" and "prepare". It seems to be contrasting really...don't run around going and doing but do prepare yourself for the journey? Perhaps as we begin to slow down and see what is really important we (I) will realize that it isn't all the 'last minute' items but rather reflecting on Jesus' call.
I'm learning that preparing for the journey takes a lot more 'being still' than moving and doing. Maybe this is just one of the first big lessons that Honduras will teach us. I don't know what God has in store for us but I know that whatever is there God has equipped us. Till next time, love and do not fear.....
