Heading Back to Romania

We have a team of 8 headed to Romania to work on the church we built last year. On this trip we hope to complete work on the bathroom, finish a room inside the building, and pour concrete for the front steps. More importantly, we are going to be sharing God's love with some beautiful children who live in the village of Sanger. Sitting here in the Charlotte airport waiting to board the plane to Munich my heart and mind are focused the wonderful people God has allowed me to meet over these past 6 years. I have to admit, in my old age, I do not enjoy the length of time it takes to get to Romania. If it wasn't for the experiences God has given me in the past it would be very difficult to make myself sit on airplanes for 15 hours.

That's really like our lives. Sometimes the journey to our destination is not that enjoyable but we are willing to take it anyway because of the experiences we anticipate. Maybe we are supposed to be more "in tune" on the less desirable parts of our journey. There are probably many things God is trying to teach us. Please say a prayer for us as we embark on this long journey. We await what God has planned for us but also want to experience all that He has planned on the journey. Gotta go get on the plane.
