Mission Trip
I am leaving on a mission trip to another country in a couple of days. My challenge has been to try to relax and let the Lord be in charge. I am not the team leader, but I have all these concerns about details such as having phone numbers, getting boarding passes printed etc., that our team leader is really not overly concerned about. I guess it shows me that I'm a little bit OC. I prepacked my bags a couple of days in advance as we're trying to go strictly with carry-on bags. I think it's probably my military training. I am reminded of a recurring dream I have where I'm still in the military and trying to move, but don't have everything I'm supposed to have done. I moved about 11 times in twenty years, not counting numerous temporary assignments. I like to plan everything out in advance, look at maps and pictures where I'm going. To know every detail and have every detail planned out before I leave on the trip. I guess I didn't know how anxious I could get by not being in control of all those details. I am able to relax and let it go, but I'm not totally at ease with it. Our team leader is much younger, and is well traveled. I am sure things will work out if I just put it all in God's hands...AND LEAVE IT THERE. I'll post after I get back. I'm sure it will be a great trip.
