Not a Vacation

Haven’t done my walking route in two days. Friday I was exhausted, sporting a headache by the end of the night and going to bed at 8pm. Super early for me. Yesterday though, I went shopping for a few items of clothing to take on the trip. I know it’s going to be hot so I went looking for lightweight tops that could be considered “business casual.” And I did a lot of walking. So I’d say that counts.

In fact, these past two days have been about shopping for the trip. And as I would go from store to store, I would catch myself in a vacation mindset again. I get excited about the new places I will see, the local shopping I’ll get to do, and the food I’ll get to try. But at the end of the day I have to remember that I have a job to do over there, and it will be challenging. I am there for the people, not myself. I will be there because God has made it possible, and wants me there.

So I again ask for prayers, and specifically that I continue to be excited about the trip, but also be serious about the mission and purpose of it. Thanks to all who have continue to pray for me! I am thankful everyday for this opportunity and how God’s perfect time continues to reveal itself to me.
