The day before...

Well... the suitcases are packed and ready to go... all 60 pounds to be precise.
It is hard to predict whether or not I will have too much, too little, or "just right" (no, my name is not Goldilocks) ... but then I ask myself... why am I predicting?

This is my outlook on this trip: Do not make predictions. Do not try to imagine what it will be like (even though this is somewhat inevitable). Do not set expectations that may or may not be fulfilled. Ok... TIME OUT. You may be thinking that this is a really negative view on my part, right? You may be thinking to yourself... "Why isn't she talking about her goals, desires, and aspirations...?" Right? Maybe I am wrong... anyway...

Here is my thought: ALLOW GOD TO DO ALL THE WORK. I am willing, yes, but I need to leave room for the Lord to work in and through my life. Lots of room. If I am (even before I leave) already caught up in what I want this trip to be and look like, how am I able to say God is the one working? I have faith and confidence that He has prepared me enough for the work I will be doing there... It is all Him and none of me. That is my prayer. Please pray for this with me.

Truth of the day: I Corinthians 3:7

"So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow."
