I’m sitting in my parents Chrysler mini van cruising down I-81 (don’t worry I’m not driving) on the way to see my my brother and his family before leaving the country for a year. This is a familiar road, I’ve driven this road hundreds of times.
Yesterday I drove away from the last fence job I will, very possibly, ever do. We parked the rig at the next job. One I willn’t be helping with.
Tomorrow I will having supper with all my sisters one more time before I leave.
All of these things are familiar. My family, my job, these highways, driving…
Tuesday I will be packing my backpack with everything I need for a year.
And Wed I will be getting in a car with my sister, driving to Atlanta where we will spend 2 days at a conference before she drops me off at the hotel for launch.
I will be leaving the familiar. Stepping into a new chapter. The only familiar thing about this is my squad- 47 people I got to know 4 weeks over an intense 10 days of preparation.
As hard as this will be at times I know this is where God is leading me.
Please pray for me as I start this journey of faith and trust.
