This is pretty short and hopefully sweet but to the point. I really just wanted to share where my heart is at this time of preparation.

 

“So, are you ready?”

 

I don’t know about the rest of my team but I am getting that question a lot lately. Some of you that have asked have probably seen my blank stare after because the answer is, I guess.

 

Am I ready to leave and head to Spain?

Yeah.

Do I have all my gear?

Almost, I am lacking some wool socks and I can’t figure out the kind of camera I want to bring. 

Am I all packed?

Besides a few essentials I still use daily, yeah.

 

I think the best question is, am I emotionally, mentally, or spiritually ready.

That answer is probably not. But I can’t point to a time the Father waited for me to be completely ready to do anything. (This is where the shrugging emoji would be great)

 

I don’t know what every month of ministry will hold and other than knowing the list of countries I don’t have an expectation of the countries. (Other than what is on Wikipedia)

 

My only real expectation is to know Christ more and walk in the freedom He has given me. Learn to be obedient in all that is asked of me and to be uncomfortable most of my days, learn to love people well, forgive as I have been forgiven, extend grace to my teammates and all I meet.
