Ok, not quite, but kind of. That is the amount of days it will be until I “blast off” (haha) into the world (just like this little boy). But really, that is how many more days it is until I start The World Race.
I do have to apologize for not keeping you all informed these past weeks as to what I have been thinking about and doing. I have been busy and stressed to say the least. The amount of lists I have had would probably scare people away and the amount of piles of stuff I have in the basement currently is overwhelming. This has been my life these past three weeks. Piles and Lists.
Unfortunately, I need to confess that “Piles and Lists” have overshadowed God most of the time. It has overshadowed my blogs, it has overshadowed my personal time with God, and it is has overshadowed my time spent in Godly conversations. As I have been preparing for a year of serving God, I somehow have been forgetting God. I have not been putting Him first.
I don’t have some fancy, intellectual insight at all in this blog. I just want to tell you where I’ve been and where I’m at. Piles and lists make both categories, however, the more I think about God, the smaller those things get.
In 8 days, I will fly to Washington D.C. for 3 – 5 more days of training and then I will fly to Mozambique. Regardless of what my piles and lists look like, I will be going. I will be going to serve the least of these regardless of what I remember to bring or what I forget to bring. I will be going to serve the least of these regardless of if I have all of my relationships wrapped up at home. I will be going to serve the least of these regardless of my piles and lists. Starting in 8 days, I will be going to serve the least of these. Period.
