Tomorrow our team leaves for Peru. Unlike most trips, this one has a very strong "up in the air" feel to it. Yes, I always plan extensively for mission trips. Yes, God inevitably makes major changes to these plans. But this one is different ... for the past 60 days I have tried to nail things down. As of today I really do not have much nailed down.
Of course, God has taught me much during this period. A couple of lessons he has taught me are:
1. Like it or not, God gives us what we need, not what we think we need.
2. Be ready to chunk your to-do list. God may have something much better in mind for you to do.
This team is as prepared as any team to walk this path. The fact that I cannot seem to nail it down does not mean that God does not already have it nailed down! We can't wait to see what he has planned.
Pray for us. We leave tomorrow at 1:48 pm. Pray we make a very, very tight connection in Atlanta. Pray that Phillip gets on his flight (he is flying Continental) ... it is overbooked at this point.
