As we finish making preparations for our upcoming journey to San Ignacio, Belize, I find myself once again wondering how a group of 11 drastically different people came to be on this journey together. We are, without a doubt, a sorted bunch this year. We are sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers... we are dreamers, believers, worriers, healers, travelers, teachers...
No matter who we are or where we come from, we all heard the same message that brought us to this point. Though we all encountered different channels and forms of communication, one way or another we all heard the voice of the Lord ask "Whom shall I send?" And though perhaps we didn't all jump up and exclaim our answers immediately, eventually we all answered "Here am I. Send me."
We may not even know the exact reason we answered the call the way we did. Perhaps we were asked by a previous team member, perhaps we've been before and had a good experience, perhaps we've always wanted to go and just now was granted the courage. No matter the path that brought us to this point, we all heard God's call and answered for a reason.
So, as we make our final preparations these next few days, I'd urge my fellow teammates not to worry about what is to come. It can be so tempting to become stressed out and overwhelmed during the final days before a long trip. As with all things, God has our back. He knows exactly how the nine days of our journey will pan out and he has brought us all together for a reason. No matter the reason you answered the call, you can be sure that God has an amazing journey in store for us. Do not question the path he has put you on. Instead, have faith.
His path for each of us will become clear with time.
Rest up well. Soon we will be on our way.

I'll check back soon.
Bye for now.
