anticipation

I leave for China today!

In a couple of hours some of my friends and I will drive from Fort Wayne, IN up to Chicago O' Hare, IL and I will meet with my ShowHope team at the airport for a few hours before we leave for Beijing at 9 pm.

Then we have a 14 hour nonstop flight to Beijing, China.

I'm nervous, excited, happy, scared; there's a pit in my stomach rolling around and chewing my insides up. I almost feel sick to my stomach, which I don't know why because I should be just excited, right?

I think it's the anticipation. Fear of the unknown. Wonderment of how it will all play out. Everything and anything mixed together and vying for my attention.

Dear Lord, fill me with your peace. I pray I would remain focused on what is important. Please be with our team as we fly to China today, give us unity and fellowship. Please be with my friends and family while I am away. And most importantly, please be with the little children we will be meeting in China. Use us in their lives God I pray. May this mission trip be all about you and not about us. Thank you for this opportunity Jesus, use me and work through me. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
