I'm almost ready, I swear

Well, I just finished up my last meeting with Alive! for the summer.  It was good to kick back, chit-chat and have some pizza with everyone.  And now, to finish getting ready.

Jennifer, my lovely girlfriend, is letting me borrow her DSLR camera for the trip, so after that, I just need to make a quick run to the bank, do some laundry and pack.  I'm still a bit nervous, as this is not only my first mission trip but also my first time out of the country.  I'm excited in that I'll get to see my homelands on this trip (both Spain and Germany), but also anxious to see what God is going to be doing, both in me and through me.  Part of me really wants to take this all in and make it about me, but I know and believe this is a real growing opportunity for me to leave myself behind and operate at God's discretion.  However, this is definitely not easy to do, as this is waaaaay out of my comfort zone (considering my comfort zone will soon be some 6000+ miles away).

So, with all that said, its time I finish getting ready to go and get some sleep.  Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

As I always say to those near me as I try and get a laugh out of them, love, peace and chicken grease. :)

Well, I hope you are ready now since you should be sitting in your seat on the plane waiting to hear the entertaining, yet terrifying, flight safety instructions.
