What awaits...

It's a week out, literally. In one week from almost this moment, the door on the plane will be closing and we'll have our team headed to Monrovia, Liberia. We'll be in Africa. For me, it's trip #3 in 3 years. Am I an expert? By no means. I do have an idea of what to expect, but what really awaits? I thought of that today as I was watching my boys play basketball. They are healthy, well fed, and hydrated. They have all they need. But in one short week, I will again see my friends in Liberia who simply don't have enough to meet their needs. One week.

So what awaits? I guess I don't know. I do know this: God is already there, and will also be traveling with us. He knows what is there, knows why we are going, and knows how He will change us. I can' wait to see what awaits...one week....
