Departure: Today we leave. We leave behind sleeping without alarm clocks in comfy beds for sleeping bags and waking early so we can snag some hot water in the shower. We leave behind our families and the group that meets just once a week for 90minutes becomes family. We leave the lazy routine of our summer day, apps on our phones, our netflix accounts, and all the things that pull on us for attention and replace it with a long long car-ride, sweaty-hot days outside, and the challenge to do something a little helpful for someone we'll never meet again.
A mission trip is fun and its hard, its about friendship and its about discipleship, and its about us and its not about us. There's no doubt that God goes with us on this trip. Keep us in your prayers this week that we all have moments of awareness of those "yay God" moments where his presence and purpose is made known to us.
