We're flying American Airlines! And I'm at the airport! Finally! 

Sitting at B71 with a crowd of 50 ruffians and we're about to embark on our round-the-world adventure.  I'm ready.  And I'm not ready at the same time.  I'm not ready for the heartache or the rough living conditions or the way my teammates are going to annoy me. 🙂 

But I am ready to get there, to rely on God to heal my broken heart, to surrender my selfish desires, to love my teammates regardless of what Tom foolery they're up to.  At least I want to be ready.  That's the plan. 

I want to bring freedom, not only to those who are captives to their circumstances, but to myself, as I am often captive to my own sin.  I want to break the chains of the slaves.  I want to walk in freedom that I might offer it with every step, every word from my mouth. That's the plan. 

Lord help me, that's the plan.
