http://staceyhume.theworldrace.org/?filename=how-does-it-feel 5 months! It has been 5 months since I have left American shores and I can’t wait! I am on my way to the airport as we speak (well, I am technically “speaking” and you guys are technically “listening”, but whatever…)
The amazing JULY 2010 squad launches this weekend from the Dominican Republic and I am joining them this week for their launch training. They are one of the biggest groups we have sent (75+) and it is sure to be a circus, in the best possible way. www.weather.com assures me that I will not have a chill, as the heat index is currently reported at about 116, so that will be fun. Just imagine how many showers I will take! I have this debate every, single, time I travel. Backpack or no backpack? Pros and cons for both to be sure, but mostly I hate looking like a 16 year old tredging through the airport, so I will probably settle for a GIANT purse, but will complain all week that I made the wrong choice. But, If i take the backpack I will complain all week that I feel like a teenager! What to do? I am just glad for the choices. At least I have options. In pretty much all colors. My closet is filled with colorful options in all shapes and sizes of purses and backpacks and messenger whose-a-call-its…yep, this is why i MUST leave the country. I am whining about what BAG to take with me….America has gotten to me and it is time to leave!!! To the land of abandonment, no options, sweating, worshipping, serving, craziness! I can’t wait!!!
Love your prayers for all these crazy friends of mine about to set off on this journey. Pray the Lord speaks through me this week, pray He illuminates how to minister His Spirit, pray that He is just in the middle of every, single, little detail that I am sure to forget!
