just over a year’s time, I can’t help but feel not ready. I think I know what
to expect, but then again, I have no idea what is going to happen. Sure, you
can read up on the blogs of current and past members and watch their videos.
That’s great and all…but that’s THEIR adventure, not mine.

I can sort of picture the similar experiences I might
encounter, but like the blind men that each described an elephant, how and what
you perceive differs from one person to the next. So that gets me to ask,
“Am I really going to do this?”
I will be living in different time zones, sleeping in new
and strange places, eating new foods, all with a group of people I haven’t even
met or know the names of. I feel that all of that and more I can handle. It’s
the unknowns that I am not so certain. What will God show me? Where will He
lead me? How will He change me? How will I live the rest of my life after? What
will I need to do?
I also expect to experience certain things with my team and
other WR members. I expect us to have moments of friction when little or big
things may irritate one another. At these times, I expect that we will be able
to discuss it, and prayerfully build each other up. If we ever need to “rebuke”
one another, it will be out of love for one another.
We’ll also experience great joy, love and care for one
another. If you can imagine all the great times and laughter you’ve ever had
with friends and family on trips, cottages, parties, etc, and combine all of
those memories and emotions into a giant ball, that’s what I think everyone
will experience. Amazing photos, unique experiences and the adventure of a life
time all for God’s Glory.
