As we become closer to our departure,there seems to be more to do. Deadlines and busyness surround us. As our trip approaches, we are fine tuning our curriculum, schedules, and preparation which brings forth a whirlwind of papers, research, and work. We are all efficient and organized but are all feeling the pressure. Our fears are creeping up. How do we facilitate our classrooms? How do we ensure behavior management? Will we be able to communicate efficiently? Will the kids have a good experience? These are just the surface questions that swirl around our heads.
We have more questions,more anxieties, and more things to cross out on our lists. Some of us have been having trouble sleeping, some of us experiencing more worries, and all of us overcoming the big and little stresses. Preparing such a thoughtful trip on such short notice has started sinking in. Up until now, we were on go mode. Getting things accomplished was necessary and became building blocks for the next week's goals. The reality of the trip coming up was now becoming less surreal. We pray in each meeting for God's guidance. We prayed this week to have faith. Faith in God and faith that He will protect us. We cannot be busy enough and worry enough to forget to pray and to give all control to God. So, my prayer for our team and for you our friends, is to spend more time with God and to experience more blessings than you can hope for.
