As I sit here in a hospital room in Lafayette Indiana where my daughter is recovering from an emergency appendectomy, I have plenty of time to reflect on past mission trips and my semi procrastinastion of preparing for this one. All this tied into the fact that I turn 50 in a few days. It is hard to believe that 11 yeas ago I was embarking on my first journey to the remote jungle village named Hauna in the interior of Papua New Guinea. It seems like yesterday and a eons ago at the same time. Children are now grown up and my experineces have grown me as well. I've traveled to two additional continents and encounetered wonderful people, strange looking creatures and ate food I am still not entirely sure about.
I am blessed to have been able to use the gifts God has given to me for His glory. Its amazing to me that no matter what I put into all the trips, I get back so much more.
So when I do get back home from taking care of my daughter, I have to finish packing up and getting the house in order - how I wish I could just snap my fingers and just be done with it.
