Ok...so I'm gonna go!!! I suppose it was decided back in March when I picked Michael up at the airport. I knew there was a plan to go back in June so I asked Michael if he was going. His answer as it will more than likely always be when asked about returning to Honduras was probably either "yes" or something like "planning on it". His next question was right back at me with, "you going?" It is very possible that right then it was decided for me but I answered Michael with an I think I just might. So the bottom line...I'm going!!!!
Now please understand, I've been invited many times by Ashley. Many, many late night instant messages have been Ashley trying to get me to commit. I would always have an excuse..something going on I couldn't miss...bad timing...no time....excuses, excuses, excuses. But the entire time any of them would be in Honduras I would practically sit by my computer waiting for an update to someone's blog. Ok..that may be an exaggeration but I would check daily and often times multiple times during the day to catch a bit of news...and even better...a picture. Well...watching from a distance, a very long distance has come to an end.
No more excuses!!! It's my time...I really am going! Sounds like I'm trying to convince myself...but in just a few short days (actually tomorrow since this blog didn't get posted) I will be on the plane with an awesome team of young people going to love on the Honduran people. WOW!!! I can now say...I CAN'T WAIT!!! The journey since that ride home from the airport with Michael has been crazy! And to think, I'm just now sharing it with all of you.
I don't know how good I will be at this blogging thing or even if I'll be able to from Honduras but I know God will lead me whenever I need Him. He will help me with the words. He will calm my fears and soothe my emotions. We will all be blogging somewhere, I hope. Live through our blogs! You'll be touched like I was over and over again. Share our love for these people I haven't even met yet. See us get on fire for serving our God!!! But most of all, pray!! Please pray for this June, 2010 team. God has so much to give and I can't wait to feel His arms wrapped around our team.
