I know I will see a lot on this trip.  I will see hurt.  I will see pain.  And I wonder if I am ready.  Am I ready to see God's hurting world?  I have been living in a safe bubble most of my life.  Times when I have caught a glimpse outside that bubble, I turn tail and run.  It is hard to see pain.  It is not a pretty thing.  I cover my eyes and remain in that safe place.  This trip is going to pop that bubble.  I am going to see so much.  I am really ready?  

I am scared.

I know it is going to hurt.   

Am I ready?
